Hello, today I discovered that it's a bad idea to "git subtree pull" from an annotated tag. This issue got discussed in those two threads: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/247503 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/248395 I was under the impression that it is fixed in recent versions of git but my homebrew 2.7.0 still behaves badly. If I run the attached script to reproduce the issue I get the following error message: > git push using: sub somebranch > fatal: 6d621d73ca18dc90424de0929357b5ae62988e00 is not a valid 'commit' object > Can't copy commit ab38e3fe1ff27f7f87505db37d35adc5c3ceed27 > git ls-remote sub > 99be40f8e3a4c926d45507be53ab6918789b3a52 HEAD > 99be40f8e3a4c926d45507be53ab6918789b3a52 refs/heads/master > 6d621d73ca18dc90424de0929357b5ae62988e00 refs/tags/sometag > 99be40f8e3a4c926d45507be53ab6918789b3a52 refs/tags/sometag^{} Besides handling this bug could you please give me a hint how to repair my main repository? The problematic subtree pull happened some time ago so I cannot alter the pull itself. I could go the brutal approach and remove, then re-add the subtree but I guess there is a smarter approach. Any help is appreciated! Thanks, Gregor
