I thought perhaps this was due to a corrupt repo, but I tried running the steps on a brand-new clone of orion.client, and I get the same error. Szymon could you take a look at this... That's interesting. It seems like the problem is when the branch name is 'config'. I see the same problem when I want to create a local branch named 'config'. I'll fix that. This is a problem with JGit. See bug 381574. This is doable on the new page. |
orion.eclipse.org @ Build id: I20120530-0918 There is a remote branch 'origin/config' that I want to checkout. (I have no local remote-tracking branch for it yet). 1. Go to Repository > Branches > View All > Remote Branches 2. Scroll down to origin/config, click Checkout 3. Errors appear in the console. The branch does not get checked out.

I got the same error...
