Use the explicit name instead of the shorthand git push origin :refs/heads/<branchname> This has come up twice in the last few days, so it clearly belongs in our documentation somewhere. I think generally "how to delete a branch" should just be described with the "refs/heads/" form - although it's more obscure, it's also more reliable. - Owen _______________________________________________ gnome-infrastructure mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-infrastructure
