One note: I usually use git co -t origin/mybranch, so it is created as a tracking branch. This error message is very typical. It means that git-svn doesn't recognize which commits come from SVN. Usually you get this if the reference in .git/refs/remotes/[branch] is missing or wrong. It can also occur in some other situations that I can't remember from the top of my head. So it's hard to say. I would first step away from the "upci" alias for a bit, and use the manual update-ref + dcommit commands again, just to be sure that there's not a bug in the alias. Do this: git update-ref refs/remotes/[branch] refs/remotes/origin/[branch] ... followed by git svn dcommit. If this still doesn't work, please post back here with the following info, so I can make a more educated guess on what's wrong: 1. The output from git config -l 2. Log of the last few (say, 5) commits in SVN branch 3. Log of the last few commits in the git repo 4. Output from git remote show origin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
