error: refusing to create funny ref 'refs/linus' locally
ng refs/linus funny refname
error: failed to push to 'ssh://devsrv/var/git/os2kernel.git'
but that doesn't work. Am I doing this wrong?
Include 'heads' in your remote refspec:
git push ssh://devsrv/var/git/os2kernel.git linus:refs/heads/linus
You may need to cleanup though. I'm not sure if the remote side
already created 'refs/linus'. The error message only indicates that
locally git refused to create the "funny refname". Pushing a refspec
with an empty local part should delete the "funny refname" on the
remote:
git push ssh://devsrv/var/git/os2kernel.git :refs/linus
Did this solve your problem?
