I feel this has happened in at least three of my repos on three distinct projects: apw@pinky$ git fetch origin remote: Generating pack... remote: Done counting 5 objects. remote: Deltifying 5 objects... remote: 100% (5/5) done Unpacking 5 objects... remote: Total 5 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) 100% (5/5) done * refs/remotes/origin/master: fast forward to branch 'master' of ssh://git@abat-dev/var/www/git/abat old..new: ce046f0..41c9dde * refs/remotes/origin/master: fast forward to branch 'master' of ssh://git@abat-dev/var/www/git/abat old..new: ce046f0..41c9dde error: Ref refs/remotes/origin/master is at 41c9dde2e63f35cd7c64b0a52c3650f246999ffd but expected ce046f04172a2a216092936302ab2cb4da64b69e apw@pinky$ This is with a 'next' a couple of days old: apw@pinky$ git --version git version 1.5.3.3.1145.g46930-dirty apw@pinky$ Will be upgrading to the latest next, will let you know if I see it again. -apw - 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
