Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.7.2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Hello,
`gbp pq import` failed because of ref whose name contain `refs/heads/patch-queue/master`: $ gbp pq -v import gbp:debug: ['git', 'rev-parse', '--show-cdup'] gbp:debug: ['git', 'rev-parse', '--is-bare-repository'] gbp:debug: ['git', 'symbolic-ref', 'HEAD'] gbp:debug: ['git', 'show-ref', 'refs/heads/master'] gbp:debug: ['git', 'show-ref', 'refs/heads/patch-queue/master'] gbp:error: Patch queue branch 'patch-queue/master'. already exists. Try 'rebase' instead. $ git show-ref refs/heads/patch-queue/master de12fcecaa8b1760ab7ec65a1581dc3a5d881d0b refs/wip/wtree/refs/heads/patch-queue/master removing this ref solved the problem for me. Maybe using the `--verify` option of `git show-ref` could solve this. Thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (150, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages git-buildpackage depends on: ii devscripts 2.15.10 ii git 1:2.7.0-1 ii man-db 2.7.5-1 ii python-dateutil 2.4.2-1 ii python-pkg-resources 18.8-1 ii python-six 1.10.0-2 pn python:any <none> Versions of packages git-buildpackage recommends: ii cowbuilder 0.78 ii pbuilder 0.223 ii pristine-tar 1.33 ii python-requests 2.9.1-2 Versions of packages git-buildpackage suggests: ii python-notify 0.1.1-4 ii sudo 1.8.15-1.1 ii unzip 6.0-20 -- no debconf information -- Rémi Vanicat
