[review@linux-review-ext4]$ git checkout master Switched to branch "master" [master@linux-review-ext4]$ stg branch --delete --force review Deleting branch "review" ... fatal: Needed a single revision stg branch: refs/heads/review does not exist

And it leaves in .git/config
[branch "test2.stgit"]
        stackformatversion = 2
So a later stg init also fails.
