Hi,
git newbie here.
I would like to work with two main branches: master-g and master-x,
instead of the usual master, and apparently git does not like this.
After creating a local repository with these two branches, and a server
repository with git init --bare, and pushing the two branches:
git remote add origin foo@bar:~/path/test.git
git push origin master-g
git push origin master-x
everything seems fine, but cloning:
git clone foo@bar:~/path/test.git
terminates with a warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable
to checkout.
On the original local repository, I have:
>cat HEAD
ref: refs/heads/master-x
But on the server repository or the clone repository, HEAD points to
master branch, that does not exist:
>cat HEAD
ref: refs/heads/master
Replacing in the HEAD file, master by master-g (on the server before
cloning, or on the clone after cloning) seems to solve the problem.
Shall I worry about this? does my fix (editing directly HEAD on the
server) fixes really the problem? what would be the correct procedure to
avoid this?
Thank you!
Carlos Pereira,
