git http-push <remote> :<branch> currently fails with the error message "cannot happen anymore". Print a more useful error message instead. Signed-off-by: Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@xxxxxx> --- We should actually support this feature, of course. Unfortunately, a lot has changed since the version of send-pack which http-push is based on (v1.2.4-398-gaa1dbc9). I think http-push should be updated to reflect these changes at a larger scope. Is there any work going on in this direction? http-push.c | 9 +++++++++ 1 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/http-push.c b/http-push.c index f9b77d6..8de091f 100644 --- a/http-push.c +++ b/http-push.c @@ -2311,6 +2311,15 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) if (!ref->peer_ref) continue; + + if (is_zero_sha1(ref->peer_ref->new_sha1)) { + error("Deleting remote branches via :<branch> is not " + "currently supported by http-push.
