Hi git list, could someone take a look please since I'm not sure if that is right thing I'm doing with git ;) I'm tracking a few linux kernel repos. Here is my git config:
--- git config ---[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
[remote "x86"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-x86.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/x86/*
[remote "tip"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/tip/*
[gui]
geometry = 1037x445+260+116 207 192
[remote "udf"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-udf-2.6.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/udf/*
------------------
By typing 'git remote update' I've got the following today
--- git remote update log ---cyrill@cvg linux-2.6.git $ git remote update Updating origin Updating x86 From git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-x86 * [new branch] core/futexes -> x86/core/futexes error: 'refs/remotes/x86/mm' exists; cannot create 'refs/remotes/x86/mm/xen' * [new branch] mm/xen -> x86/mm/xen d4abc23..ea71a54 sched-fixes-for-linus -> x86/sched-fixes-for-linus error: unable to resolve reference refs/remotes/x86/sched/devel: Not a directory * [new branch] sched/devel -> x86/sched/devel error: unable to resolve reference refs/remotes/x86/sched/new-API-sched_setscheduler: Not a directory * [new branch] sched/new-API-sched_setscheduler -> x86/sched/new-API-sched_setscheduler error: unable to resolve reference refs/remotes/x86/sched/urgent: Not a directory * [new branch] sched/urgent -> x86/sched/urgent ffe6e1d..ebb9cfe x86-fixes-for-linus -> x86/x86-fixes-for-linus error: Could not fetch x86 Updating tip From git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip * [new branch] core/futexes -> tip/core/futexes d4abc23..ea71a54 sched-fixes-for-linus -> tip/sched-fixes-for-linus error: unable to resolve reference refs/remotes/tip/sched/devel: Not a directory * [new branch] sched/devel -> tip/sched/devel error: unable to resolve reference refs/remotes/tip/sched/new-API-sched_setscheduler: Not a directory * [new branch] sched/new-API-sched_setscheduler -> tip/sched/new-API-sched_setscheduler error: unable to resolve reference refs/remotes/tip/sched/urgent: Not a directory * [new branch] sched/urgent -> tip/sched/urgent ffe6e1d..ebb9cfe x86-fixes-for-linus -> tip/x86-fixes-for-linus error: Could not fetch tip Updating udf ----------------------------- I've asked Ingo what is happend with -tip tree. He answered: | hm, this is due to a new 'sched/urgent' and 'sched/devel' branches being | introduced, while the old ones were still around. If I've recreated git repo from scratch - messages are gone. Not sure how to react on this. Is that normal? (I would _not_ say that such error messages annoying me but somehow a _bit_ unpleasant :-) Please CC me since I'm not subscribed. Btw the git I'm using is - git version 1.5.6.6.gd3e97. - Cyrill -
