Issue created Nov 29, 2016 by Gavin Lambert@uecasm

Git fetch all with rebase after produces error

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. TortoiseGit -> Fetch
  2. Remote: origin (note that the branch combo is disabled so it will fetch all branches)
  3. Tick "Launch Rebase After Fetch".
  4. Press OK.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: it fetches all branches, then the rebase window is loaded for the current branch vs. its upstream remote. (eg. master vs. remotes/origin/master)

Actual: it fetches all branches, then the rebase window appears but shows this error:

libgit2 returned: Failed to parse revision specifier - Invalid pattern 'remotes/origin/'

Selecting the upstream branch manually after this works around the issue.

What version of TortoiseGit and Git are you using? On what operating system?

  • TortoiseGit 2.3.4.0 (20161121-ddb9cc6f
  • git version 2.9.3.windows.2
  • Windows 8.1 x64

Please provide any additional information below.

Git Sync -> Fetch & Rebase behaves as expected, but fetches only a single branch, so the above is still needed sometimes, particularly when about to merge a branch pushed by someone else.

(On an unrelated note: the rebase window also gets a bit confused if a branch's upstream is set to a local branch rather than a remote one. Which you can't do with the TGit GUI but can on the command line.)

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
