Hi, I have two repositories /home/user/linux and /home/user/dev/linux, same user on same machine. Here is how I create a local branch at v2.6.21.7 in /home/user/dev/linux, #pwd /home/user/dev/linux # git remote add l2621 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.21.y.git # git fetch l2621 # git branch mylocal26217 v2.6.21.7 Now I would like to do the same from the other repository /home/user/linux: # pwd /home/user/linux # git remote add other /home/guerin/dev/git/linux-2.6 # git fetch other # git push /home/user/dev/git/linux-2.6 v2.6.21.7:refs/heads/new_feature_name26217 Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) error: Trying to write non-commit object 170684ef0557d4b711a86595d31dcbebcb9d4ba2 to branch refs/heads/new_feature_name26217 To /home/user/dev/git/linux-2.6 ! [remote rejected] v2.6.21.7 -> new_feature_name26217 (failed to write) error: failed to push some refs to '/home/user/dev/git/linux-2.6' Maybe something to configure to authorize the creation of branch?
