With an entry like below
[remote "github"]
fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/origin/*
url = git://github.com/kvaneesh/QEMU.git
when i do git fetch github for-anthony i get the below error
[master@QEMU]$ git fetch github for-anthony
>From git://github.com/kvaneesh/QEMU
* tag for-anthony -> FETCH_HEAD
[master@QEMU]$ less .git/config
Also trying to do
[master@QEMU]$ git fetch git://github.com/kvaneesh/QEMU.git for-anthony:aneesh/for-anthony
error: Trying to write non-commit object 12916047784615b7d8b879d9d39be6c1559e1b1b to branch refs/heads/aneesh/for-anthony
>From git://github.com/kvaneesh/QEMU
! [new branch] for-anthony -> aneesh/for-anthony (unable to update local ref)
* [new tag] for-anthony -> for-anthony
I understand that replacing the above with below works. But we should
not be required to specify refs/tags there right ?
[master@QEMU]$ git fetch git://github.com/kvaneesh/QEMU.git refs/tags/for-anthony:refs/tags/aneesh/for-anthony
-aneesh
