Another broken Git repository
Hi,
I checked out
git clone git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/liblemon1.git
and did some small cosmetic changes (Vcs fields are broken and thus the
recently announced machine-readable gatherer stumbles upon it). Then I
tried to push:
$ git push

Delta compression using up to 4 threads.

remote: error: refusing to update checked out branch: refs/heads/master
remote: error: By default, updating the current branch in a non-bare repository

remote: error: with what you pushed, and will require 'git reset --hard' to match

remote: error:
remote: error: You can set 'receive.denyCurrentBranch' configuration variable to

remote: error: other way.
remote: error:
remote: error: To squelch this message and still keep the default behaviour, set

To git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/liblemon1.git
! [remote rejected] master -> master (branch is currently checked out)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/liblemon1.git'
As a Git beginner I think there are many powerful features in Git but
also many ways to end up with a broken repository. That's a bit
frustrating, thought. Any hint?
Kind regards
Andreas.
