Subject: ambiguous argument '...': unknown revision or path not in the working tree
Date: Sun, 17 Jan 2010 10:46:15 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ska5vzbs.fsf@turtle.gmx.de> (raw)

I've got a strange error message in 'git push':

,----
| % git push
| Counting objects: 47, done.
| Delta compression using up to 2 threads.
| Compressing objects: 100% (24/24), done.

| To git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/ncurses.git

Indeed debian/changelog is not in the working tree, it is not in the
current branch (upstream) at all, although it exists in the master
branch.  Default is to push the current branch:

,----
| % git config --get push.default 
| current
| % git --version
| git version 1.6.6
`----

Despite the error message, the push was apparently successful; the
repository I push to can be found at
http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/ncurses.git.
