I get errors from git push when trying to delete a (remote) branch: $ ./bin-wrappers/git versiongit version 1.7.8.rc0 $ ./bin-wrappers/git push -q . :refs/heads/nogofatal: bad object 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000fatal: bad object 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000remote: warning: Allowing deletion of corrupt ref. I bisected this to: 52fed6e receive-pack: check connectivity before concluding "git push" $ git describe 52fed6e~1 v1.7.5.3-492-gf96400c $ ./bin-wrappers/git version git version 1.7.5.3.492.gf9640 $ ./bin-wrappers/git push -q . :refs/heads/nogo remote: warning: Allowing deletion of corrupt ref. It makes no difference if the branch to be deleted exists, or not.
