flutter command fails with FileSystemException

[Shakeel Mahate]

I did a git clone with the flutter.git repository and added ~/flutter/bin to PATH.

Running flutter help I get the following error message

Unhandled exception:

Load Error for "package:flutter_tools/executable.dart": Error loading file:///Users/shakeel/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/packages/flutter_tools/executable.dart:

  FileSystemException: Cannot open file, path = '/Users/shakeel/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/packages/flutter_tools/executable.dart' (OS Error: No such file or directory, errno = 2)

#0      _asyncLoadErrorCallback (dart:_builtin:155)

#1      _asyncLoadError (dart:_builtin:566)

#2      _handleLoaderReply (dart:_builtin:383)

#3      _RawReceivePortImpl._handleMessage (dart:isolate-patch/isolate_patch.dart:148)

It looks the path repeats packages/flutter_tools twice.

I was trying to get MASTER branch working.

So then I tried to clone with ALPHA branch and it fails with same error message

| => dart --version

Dart VM version: 1.14.1 (Wed Feb  3 11:49:51 2016) on "macos_x64"

| => pub --version

Pub 1.14.1

flutter version and flutter help also fails with the same exception

Here is the output of git clone command with master and with alpha branches
