But doing a push doesn't advance it. Pushing to another label did get it there, under that name. Is this another "sorry about msysgit" thing, or is it something that might happen from time to time that someone might explain to me? My work-around is to go to that remote repository and delete and rename the branch from the successful temp I did push. Could it have something to do with the remote repository not being "bare"? Or with the responses being too slow? --John TradeStation Group, Inc. is a publicly-traded holding company (NASDAQ GS: TRAD) of three operating subsidiaries, TradeStation Securities, Inc.

Did you try fetching? If so, are you sure your fetch refspec will update the tracking ref appropriately? Through what protocol are you pushing? Only the git protocol will update local tracking refs on push; http will not. How are you invoking push? Are you using the remote name, so that it can find the tracking ref (pushing directly to the URL, even if you have a remote matching that URL, will not update tracking refs). Finally, what version of git are you using? Recent versions of send-pack will update tracking refs for pushed _and_ up-to-date refs, but versions prior to 1.6.0.4 would only do so for things that actually got pushed. -Peff ``` ## John Dlugosz, 2009-04-22 20:30 Subject: RE: Strange, can't push Message-ID: <450196A1AAAE4B42A00A8B27A59278E70ACE0806@EXCHANGE.trad.tradestation.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/450196A1AAAE4B42A00A8B27A59278E70ACE0806%40EXCHANGE.trad.tradestation.com In-Reply-To: <20090422200657.GB14146@coredump.intra.peff.net> ``` > From: Jeff King [mailto:peff@peff.net] > Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 3:07 PM > To: John Dlugosz > Subject: Re: Strange, can't push > > If that is the case, it is a serious problem that we are failing to > record a ref update but not reporting the error.

So next time something funny happens, I'll be better able to reproduce it after putting effort into making it go away. I have yet to rebuild msysgit myself. Even so, it's not my normal working environment and I have no idea how to fire up a debugger with it. --John TradeStation Group, Inc. is a publicly-traded holding company (NASDAQ GS: TRAD) of three operating subsidiaries, TradeStation Securities, Inc.
