Dear list members, On March 4 it was the last time I was able successfully to update my local clone of gcc git mirror, which has been setup as described in [1]. $ git pull --rebase >From git://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc 7628458..79bac32 trunk -> svn/trunk f379260..0417bef gcc-4_8-branch -> origin/gcc-4_8-branch 42a9765..b0ec7b6 gcc-4_9-branch -> origin/gcc-4_9-branch 7628458..79bac32 master -> origin/master 7628458..79bac32 trunk -> origin/trunk 4e11d32..69d7068 ARM -> svn/ARM b3d2c22..16d26e1 c++-delayed-folding -> svn/c++-delayed-folding f379260..0417bef gcc-4_8-branch -> svn/gcc-4_8-branch 42a9765..b0ec7b6 gcc-4_9-branch -> svn/gcc-4_9-branch 101f03f..2d017af google -> svn/google 7ec246e..689171f gupc -> svn/gupc 9d2feef..6a9948a ibm -> svn/ibm d5bea86..ee7a90e redhat -> svn/redhat * [new ref] ttype3 -> svn/ttype3 First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it... Fast-forwarded trunk to 79bac32ec3283a9a73faeec11b8d905e4cf1445a. $ The next time I did update on March 7 and it failed: $ git pull --rebase >From git://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc 79bac32..74eacc0 trunk -> svn/trunk 0417bef..5adbe99 gcc-4_8-branch -> origin/gcc-4_8-branch b0ec7b6..e510458 gcc-4_9-branch -> origin/gcc-4_9-branch error: 'refs/remotes/origin/hjl/pie' exists; cannot create 'refs/remotes/origin/hjl/pie/gcc-4_9-branch' !
