With git-next, where git pull --rebase can print out "fatal: No such
ref: ''" if git pull --rebase is run on branches without an upstream.
With git at b139ac2589b15d55cd9fa5c6957da44b150d0737, the following
commands demonstrate the problem:
git init repo1
cd repo1
touch a; git add a; git commit -m "a"
cd ..
git clone repo1 repo2
cd repo2
git config remote.origin.fetch refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
git checkout -b test
git pull --rebase
This results in the following output:
fatal: No such ref: ''
Current branch test is up to date.
So the pull --rebase looks like it works, but it prints out a spurious
fatal error.
I've managed to bisect this down to
https://github.com/gitster/git/commit/48059e405028ebf8a09c5a9aede89dfb460cce98.
Looks like get_remote_merge_branch is called without arguments, and it
returns an empty string. This string is passed as-is to git merge-base,
which causes the error.
