Description Curtis Doty 2010-12-06 01:40:21 UTC 
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2010-December/146671.html

Without the patch from Ricky, the git branch cannot be anonymously updated from upstream with git-pull.
Comment 1 Curtis Doty 2010-12-08 23:19:23 UTC 
FYI the patch works. And until that patch is merged, if you ever clone a branched package, you'll need to run this on each branch:

git remote set-url origin git://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/foo
Comment 2 Jesse Keating 2010-12-08 23:44:16 UTC 
Thanks for the patch.

I have been planning on re-doing the whole -B logic to mimic what /usr/share/doc/git-*/contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir does, as it seems to do things better than we currently do in fedpkg.  Not sure if I'll do that instead of taking this patch or not.
Comment 3 Curtis Doty 2010-12-10 03:44:38 UTC 
Tangentially related...

It appears if you install fedpkg on a CentOS 5 system via EPEL, it doesn't like the logic:

+ fedpkg clone -a -B dropwatch

Upgrading git from 1.5.5.6-4.el5 to 1.7.3-1.el5.rf (via rpmforge) solved.
Comment 4 Jesse Keating 2010-12-10 18:26:14 UTC 
There is another bug about --branch not being a viable option on EL5's version of git.
Comment 5 Jesse Keating 2011-01-21 22:36:11 UTC 
Patch applied, this will be fixed in the next build of fedora-packager.
