fast-import doesn't assume the local branches already exist. It actually assumes its importing from scratch every time. The frontend tool needs to restart the branch if that is what it wants.
Is there a compelling reason for this behavior? Shouldn't be so complicated to get an overview on which branches already exist? Right now I have to do this with a side channel to fast-import, asking the git repo directly, and then "recreating" the branch, etc. Works, but could be nicer, I guess. cheers simon -- Serve - BSD +++ RENT this banner advert +++ ASCII Ribbon /"\ Work - Mac +++ space for low €€€ NOW!1 +++ Campaign \ / Party Enjoy Relax | http://dragonflybsd.org Against HTML \ Dude 2c 2 the max ! http://golden-apple.biz Mail + News / \ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
