I've built the latest version, 2.37.2 on my CentOS host and am trying it out to make sure it works before deploying it widely. I ran into an error I don't understand "Your configuration specifies to merge with the ref... but no such ref was fetched". Searching on the web turned up posts suggesting that it indicates the remote branch was deleted, but that is not the case here. I can pull using 2.18.0, just not with 2.37.2. Is there some configuration change which is needed to switch between the old and the new version of git?

Here's an example:
$ /re/tools/linux-x86_64/opensrc/git/2.18.0/bin/git pull
From http://githost:7990/scm/dp/d2s_sw
 * branch                  feature/switch-to-qt5 -> FETCH_HEAD
Already up to date.

$ /re/tools/linux-x86_64/opensrc/git/2.37.2/bin/git pull Your configuration specifies to merge with the ref 'refs/heads/feature/switch-to-qt5' from the remote, but no such ref was fetched.
