Subject: Confusing error message from "git pull" when upstream repo no longer exists
Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2010 12:33:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <op.ve14xqlq0i1pst@centurion> (raw)
When running "git pull", I get this error message:
fatal: /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-pull cannot be used without a
working tree.
"git fetch" gives me a much clearer error message:
fatal: '/var/git/project.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
/var/git/project.git does no longer exist on the origin server, so I
understand why the commands fail. I think "git pull" should have a
less confusing error message, though.
