Subject: Losing branches (whee, data loss)
Date: Wed, 16 May 2007 01:18:04 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <464A940C.3080906@garzik.org> (raw)
Grumble!
When all this started, the branch 'upstream-fixes' exists, and branch
'tmp' does not exist. This is my local clone of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev.git
[jgarzik@pretzel libata-dev]$ git branch -m upstream-fixes tmp
error: Could not open config file!
fatal: Branch rename failed
[jgarzik@pretzel libata-dev]$ git-branch -m upstream-fixes tmp
fatal: A branch named 'tmp' already exists.
[jgarzik@pretzel libata-dev]$ git branch -D tmp
Deleted branch tmp.
[jgarzik@pretzel libata-dev]$ git-branch -m upstream-fixes tmp
error: refname refs/heads/upstream-fixes not found
fatal: Branch rename failed
