Hi, all, When I checked out a git repository, it has the following remote branches: $ git br -r origin/HEAD -> origin/master origin/master origin/dev/main origin/remotes/origin/dev/main I tried to delete the last branch with a strange long name. Using "git push" to delete it would fail. $ git push origin :remotes/origin/dev/main Pushing to jou@xxxxxxxxxxx:gsfw/omu_fw error: dst refspec remotes/origin/dev/main matches more than one. error: failed to push some refs to 'jou@xxxxxxxxxxx:gsfw/omu_fw' However, I can create a new branch from it: $ git co -b jou.temp origin/remotes/origin/dev/main Branch jou.temp3 set up to track remote branch remotes/origin/dev/main from origin. Switched to a new branch 'jou.temp3' But again, I cannot push any changes in "jou.temp3" branch to that weird branch: $ git push origin HEAD:remotes/origin/dev/main error: dst refspec remotes/origin/dev/main matches more than one. error: failed to push some refs to 'jou@xxxxxxxxxxx:gsfw/omu_fw' I guess somehow, git is confused by "origin/dev/main" and "origin/remotes/origin/dev/main". Especially, it cannot identify the latter properly. I wonder if any one can give me some suggestions on how to deal with this situation. Thanks a lot!
