I created a feature branch from a release branch before my peer committed to it . My peer committed to this branch through the lower branches of auto merge option to this high branch . However when I do a git pull I was facing the issue in of the files. I tried multiple ways to debug this but ultimately found that the issue is with got itself . I took the a fresh branch from this branch (post merge of my friend ) then the error does not occur. I appreciate if you look into this . And if this indeed is an issue could you fix it and you acknowledge my original receipt as the findings to this . Thanks Amith Ashok Chugani ``` ## Kristoffer Haugsbakk, 2024-10-09 20:20 Subject: Re: Fwd: Git bug Message-ID: <6b1f434a-fb56-4699-a03a-069a1da118ab@app.fastmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/6b1f434a-fb56-4699-a03a-069a1da118ab%40app.fastmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Wed, Oct 9, 2024, at 20:04, Amith Ashok wrote: > Hi , > > I wanted to report a git bug that I encountered today . > > I created a feature branch from a release branch before my peer > committed to it .

Usually a git(1) bug can be reproduced with a set of commands (reproduction). And some part of the output demonstrates that there is a bug. Which could be: - The output itself tells you it’s a `BUG` (code path that should be unreachable) - The output or behavior is unreasonable or unexpected given the context Then you provide it here in the bug report. Like: ˋˋˋ BUG: this should never happen but it did (:) ˋˋˋ There’s also git-bugreport(1) which you can use to fill out such a report. That will record things like your Git version and other relevant system info. > I tried multiple ways to debug this but ultimately found that the > issue is with got itself . > > I took the a fresh branch from this branch (post merge of my friend ) > then the error does not occur. > > > I appreciate if you look into this .
