Tried this one before with same results: > git push origin :base_2-adam
error: cannot delete 'refs/heads/base_2-adam' from packed refs error: failed to delete refs/heads/base_2-adam To [EMAIL PROTECTED]:chaupt/xyz_base.git ! [remote rejected] base_2-adam (failed to delete) error: failed to push some refs to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:chaupt/ xyz_base.git' Have tried on a fresh clone just to rule out local issues. I need to start diving in to the git source to see how the refs stuff works to understand this error message better. Anyone got pointers of what to look at first?
