One or more refs/for/ names blocks change upload
|
|
================================================
|
|
|
|
With this error message Gerrit rejects to push a commit for code
|
|
review if the remote git repository has a branch under the
|
|
'refs/for/' namespace.
|
|
|
|
Gerrit uses the 'refs/for/' namespace for magical refs that represent
|
|
the review queues for branches in the git repository hosted by
|
|
Gerrit. If, for a project, a real branch is created under the
|
|
'refs/for' namespace this conflicts with the namespace reserved for
|
|
the Gerrit review queues and Gerrit can't accept further pushes for
|
|
code review.
|
|
|
|
To solve this problem all real branches that exist under the
|
|
'refs/for/' namespace have to be deleted or renamed in the remote git
|
|
repository.
|
|
|
|
To see which branches exist under the 'refs/for/' namespace a Gerrit
|
|
administrator can run the following command:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
$ git for-each-ref refs/for
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
If all these branches should be deleted it can be done with the
|
|
following command:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
$ for n in $(git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' refs/for);
|
|
do git update-ref -d $n; done
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Branches under the 'refs/for/' namespace can be created by users that
|
|
bypass Gerrit and push directly to the git repository itself (not
|
|
using the Gerrit server's SSH port).
