1.1.0.201109151100-r. Fetching from Upstream constantly reports an error: "inital : initial [rejected]" Steps: 1. start new workspace with Juno M2 2. install EGit 1.1.0.201109151100-r (or newer) 3. clone ssh://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git 4. wait until all is cloned 5. via 'Git Repositories' view: Fetch from Upstream ==> error This is a blocker for me as I have no clue whether the repository is in a broken state or whether this is some other sever issue.

It seems to be related to tags (or maybe Windows because of its case-insensitivity?). I can keep punching in 'git fetch origin' on the command line and it'll keep giving me the same output. ------------------ C:\git\tmp\eclipse.platform.ui>git fetch origin From git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.ui * [new tag] initial -> initial From git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.ui * [new tag] INITIAL -> INITIAL C:\git\tmp\eclipse.platform.ui>
OK. So the workaround is to remove those tags. I saw that on can delete a branch via UI but not tags.
Reducing severity since I now know it's coming from the fact that tags (or branches) with different casing are broken on Windows and that the affected tag is not critical.
> I saw that on can delete a branch via UI but not tags. We figured out how to do this. Actually we renamed one of the tags (add+delete). ==> The steps from comment 0 won't allow to reproduce the problem.
