Hi I just set up a sandbox (clone of the true repository)
I tried out the following
1. git branch -m master default
2. Change the «gitlab-default» branch to something else
3. git push origin --delete master
4. git push origin -u default
5. Set the default branch as «gitlab-default»
However 3. Fails with
,----
| remote: error: By default, deleting the current branch is denied, because the
next
| remote: 'git clone' won't result in any file checked out, causing confusion.
| remote:
| remote: You can set 'receive.denyDeleteCurrent' configuration variable to
| remote: 'warn' or 'ignore' in the remote repository to allow deleting the
| remote: current branch, with or without a warning message.
| remote:
| remote: To squelch this message, you can set it to 'refuse'.
| remote: error: refusing to delete the current branch: refs/heads/master
| To ssh://git.code.sf.net/p/matlab-emacs-mirror/code
| ! [remote rejected] master (deletion of the current branch prohibited)
| error: failed to push some refs to
'ssh://git.code.sf.net/p/matlab-emacs-mirror/code'
`----
But I tried out
git config --local receive.denyDeleteCurrent ignore
And it did not help.
Any idea what is going wrong here.
On gitlab I have to change the default branch form master to something
else via their webinterface.
I don't see anything like this on sourceforge.
Any ideas?
Regards
Uwe
