I doubt that. I think that was probably never configured, it just didn't
show up when everything was working.

I don't know what the buildfarm run, but perhaps it's trying to inject a
merge commit there or something, and that's why it's failing on not having
a name?

It *should* certainly not be required to have a name in order to pull.

I'm guessing the solution is to reset the 9.2 branch to a point prior to
the commit and then pull again? Or wouldn't just a rebase work?
