| 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). |
