I'm attempting to use Git (1.6.3.3) to bisect Wine.
When I ran: git bisect start, I got: fatal: invalid reference: master.
How do I get rid of the error?
What does `git branch` show to you?
~/wine-git$ git branch
* (no branch)
That's odd. It means you have no local branches at all, while under
normal circumstances `git clone` should have created a local branch
named master to thack the same named remote branch.
Now do this:
1) Run `git branch -a` -- it also should show you remote branches (if
any).
2) If the output lists the remote branch named master (say, origin/
master) create the local master branch to track it using
git checkout master origin/master
If you will not see the remote master branch, I'd recommend starting
afresh with `git clone`.
If you will see a bunch of remote branches but no master, then it
means wine developers have their own peculiar naming scheme for their
lines of work, -- ask them what branch you're supposed to work with.
This branch can be specified in a call to `git clone` if it's not
named master.
