there's something broken with the repo recently. Even in a fresh

show these, it only has three branches.
This keeps me from pushing. A hg pull currently says that it gets 735
objects *each time*, without any visible changes, and a push says it
would override a changeset.
Any idea what may have gone wrong?
It seems that the Github's automatic merge feature creates hidden
branches in the namespace
refs/pull/*
Git does not fetch these by default unless you tell it to,
git fetch origin refs/*:refs/*
The hidden branches are there, but you never see them in normal usage,
and they are never pulled so they do not take space in clones.
But maybe Mercurial's git plugin gets confused because of them?
I'm not familiar with how it works, but maybe you can instruct it
to track only branches in the default namespace refs/heads/*
Sounds like this should be a Github or hg-git bug report.
5 minutes of Googling didn't turn up anything... Do you think it would
be a bad idea to simply delete these branches, something like
git push origin :refs/*
?
