Public bug reported: Binary package hint: git-core
Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 8.10 Package version: 1:1.5.6.3-1.1ubuntu2 'git pull' doesn't work. Yesterday, I cloned Linus's kernel tree: scj...@ailuropoda:~/cfs/kernels/git$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git linux-2.6 It is unchanged apart from pushing and popping a couple of patches via quilt (no patches are currently applied.) Today I am attempting to update it: scj...@ailuropoda:~/cfs/kernels/git/linux-2.6$ git pull Updating f06da26..4c098bc Documentation/IO-mapping.txt: needs update include/linux/netfilter/xt_connmark.h: needs update include/linux/netfilter/xt_dscp.h: needs update include/linux/netfilter/xt_mark.h: needs update include/linux/netfilter/xt_rateest.h: needs update include/linux/netfilter/xt_tcpmss.h: needs update include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_connmark.h: needs update include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_dscp.h: needs update include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_ecn.h: needs update include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_mark.h: needs update include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_tcpmss.h: needs update include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_tos.h: needs update include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_ttl.h: needs update include/linux/netfilter_ipv6/ip6t_hl.h: needs update include/linux/netfilter_ipv6/ip6t_mark.h: needs update net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ecn.c: needs update net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ttl.c: needs update net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6t_hl.c: needs update net/netfilter/xt_connmark.c: needs update net/netfilter/xt_dscp.c: needs update net/netfilter/xt_mark.c: needs update net/netfilter/xt_rateest.c: needs update net/netfilter/xt_tcpmss.c: needs update error: Entry 'arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/powernow-k8.c' not uptodate. Cannot merge. I rsynced the tree to a machine running 8.04 (git-core 1:1.5.4.3-1ubuntu2) and was able to 'git pull' successfully. I tried 'git checkout -f' to get rid of any local changes (not that there should be any) but 'git pull' is still broken: scj...@ailuropoda:~/cfs/kernels/git/linux-2.6$ git checkout -f Checking out files: 100% (25410/25410), done.
