Git works quite as expected here, so there is nothing to fix. > error: no such remote ref refs/heads/jc/bind > error: no such remote ref refs/heads/jc/bind-2 > error: no such remote ref refs/heads/gb/diffdelta Since you said it is an older git repository, I guess that in your .git/remotes/origin are some lines like this: Pull: refs/heads/jc/bind:refs/heads/jc/bind So, you _asked_ git to fetch these three branches! By not providing _any_ remote, you said: "look into .git/remotes/origin". And in that file you said: "fetch bind, bind-2 and diffdelta". And git faithfully reports that it cannot fetch these branches (they are no longer there) and errors out.
