I am glad to hear that you resolved the problem.  I am trying to triage the open tickets and since yours was long resolved I am closing the ticket.  Thanks for letting us know!

Hi,

Sorry again,
I resolve my mistake by pushing all branches (only the master which remains in fact) as the tutorial advice:

git push --all -v nroche@git.sv.gnu.org:/srv/git/mediatex.git

So all looks working as expected now.
Thanks and sorry for the noise.

Nicolas.

Hello,

I'm really sorry, I am trying to put the mediatex non-gnu project into a git repository and I fails to follow the http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/UsingGit tutorial.

When converting,

$ git cvsimport -A ../authors.txt -p x -v -d:${myrepository}:/sources/$project $module

I got :

$ git show-branch -a

  • [master] debian package

 ! [cvs/HEAD] debian package
  ! [cvs/master] debian package
---
*++ [master] debian package

And I fails to remove the extra branches.
So, after pushing the project, I got the expected error on cloning but without information on which branch to remove.

$ git push --tags -v nroche@git.sv.gnu.org:/srv/git/mediatex.git

$ cd newDir
$ LANG=C git clone nroche@git.sv.gnu.org:/srv/git/mediatex.git -v
warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

Please, could you help me to setup the git repository for the mediatex non-gnu project ?

Thanks you very much, I apologize as I'm still beginning with git.
Nicolas.
