No big deal, though. Right - did not seem to warrant a patch of its own :) Best regards, -- Yann ``` ## Karl Hasselström, 2007-10-07 15:25 Subject: Re: [StGIT PATCH] Better diagnostic for wrong branch configuration.

Applied, thanks. I'll try it tomorrow with my StGIT over SVN configuration as well (it works OK with the latter patches). -- Catalin ``` ## Catalin Marinas, 2007-10-08 13:00 Subject: Re: [StGIT PATCH] Better diagnostic for wrong branch configuration.

What I did is defining 'pull-policy' as 'fetch-rebase', 'fetchcmd' as 'git svn fetch' which doesn't create any FETCH_HEAD. The 'pullcmd' is defined as 'git svn rebase' and it doesn't use any argument if git.fetch_head() return None. I also think it is better for the pull command to re-raise the git.fetch_head exception as this one contains more detailed information about the error (after the out.error call). It currently shows that the remote head couldn't be found but there is the multiple heads case raised by git.fetch_head. -- Catalin ```
