Hello, I'm dealing with a small automation (CI) to synchronise some specific branches between two git repositories. I need to sync a branch with other using a user-given refspec. e.g. $ git pull origin "refs/heads/branchOrigin:refs/heads/branchDestination”. (I’ll have a list of refspecs, but so far Im trying to make it work with one) When the branch can be fast-forwarded there is no problem, but I cannot manage to make it work when it cant. I just. get the message "[rejected] branchOrigin -> branchDestination (non-fast forward)." I've tried the following: - adding a git config with pull.rebase=false (I also tried true) - adding --no-rebase to the pull command (I also tried —rebase) In any cases the result is the same The issue is, It does work if I just pass the branch names. e.g. git pull origin branchOrigin --no-edit merges the branch just fine Im not sure why git refuses to merge the branches when I pass a full refspec. is this intentional? is there some other incantation I need to use to make this work? Thank you! Santiago García Pimentel. santiago@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
