Hi,
When pushing branches to a gitosis hosted repository, although I get the expected response from the push command, the remote branches aren't listed when I do git branch -a.
Even after a fetch, the branches still do not show up in the list.
Interestingly, I find files with names that correspond to the branches I have been trying to push in repositories/grid.git/refs/heads on the dreamhost gitosis server.
I've tried both of the ff forms to no avail.
git push origin refactor:refs/heads/refactor
git push origin refactor:refactor
but these same commands work perfectly on heroku's repo.
To put all this another way:
git push origin refactor:refactor
no errors. everything ok
git branch -a
origin/refactor missing
git branch --track rft origin/refactor
fatal: Not a valid object name: 'origin/refactor'
So what gives?
