Nice, I didn't know about that command - I tried it though and it does list the remote branches correctly. I checked the commit refs given and it tallies with the refs at the gitolite server end. >It could be someone has accidently pruned or deleted that branch at the remote. I don't think so, as I say it's a gitolite server, so usually nobody is on it. We just push to it and set up post-receive hooks for if updates need to be pushed on to a deployment server. Do you know of ways to check if anything is corrupted within the repo? I ran git fsck, but that didn't show up anything. >What version are you (they) on? 1.9.1 at both ends (my laptop and our gitolite server) > Gmane had to quit. Try http://public-inbox.org/git (see the help link) Ah! Thanks. I tried searching but so far only turned up this thread. > philip Thanks for your reply, Philip. Paul
