Did you try fetching? If so, are you sure your fetch\nrefspec will update the tracking ref appropriately?\n\nThrough what protocol are you pushing? Only the git protocol will\nupdate local tracking refs on push; http will not.\n\nHow are you invoking push? Are you using the remote name, so that it can\nfind the tracking ref (pushing directly to the URL, even if you have a\nremote matching that URL, will not update tracking refs).\n\nFinally, what version of git are you using? Recent versions of send-pack\nwill update tracking refs for pushed _and_ up-to-date refs, but versions\nprior to 1.6.0.4 would only do so for things that actually got pushed.\n\n-Peff\n"},{"id":"112001","messageId":"450196A1AAAE4B42A00A8B27A59278E70ACE0806@EXCHANGE.trad.tradestation.com","threadId":"18990","inReplyTo":"20090422200657.GB14146@coredump.intra.peff.net","subject":"RE: Strange, can't push","fromName":"John Dlugosz","fromEmail":"jdlugosz@tradestation.com","sentAt":"2009-04-22T20:30:22Z","receivedAt":"2009-04-22T20:30:22Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"jdlugosz@tradestation.com","avatar":null},"body":"> From: Jeff King [mailto:peff@peff.net]\n> Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 3:07 PM\n> To: John Dlugosz\n> Subject: Re: Strange, can't push\n> \n> If that is the case, it is a serious problem that we are failing to\n> record a ref update but not reporting the error.
