Hello,
This evening we did some maintenance on the main gPXE git repository
located here:
http://git.etherboot.org/?p=gpxe.git;a=summary
We removed extraneous branches and tags and packed the repository.
These changes should be invisible to most people, but if you cloned our
repository, we recomend that you do a "git pull" to make sure you have
no difficulties syncing.
We have observed a problem with repositories cloned with git versions
before 1.5. If you cloned your repository with git-1.4, for example,
you may see errors like this when using git pull.
$ git pull
error: no such remote ref refs/heads/EB_CVS
fatal: Fetch failure: git://git.etherboot.org/scm/gpxe.git
If you encounter this error, you can fix your repository by doing the
following:
$ cd gpxe
$ rm .git/remotes/origin
$ git remote add origin git://git.etherboot.org/scm/gpxe.git
Then edit the file .git/config and add these lines:
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
We believe it is unlikely that most people will encounter problems, but
in case you are tracking our main repository we wanted to inform you of
these changes.
Marty
