When you did your last pull you may have seen something like:

$ git pull
warning: no common commits
remote: Counting objects: 3, done.
remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 3 (delta 0)
Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done.
From github.com:mcviz/repo
 * [new branch]      repo_moved_see_mcviz.net/2011-09-17-repo-move -> gh/repo_moved_see_mcviz.net/2011-09-17-repo-move
You asked to pull from the remote 'gh', but did not specify
a branch. Because this is not the default configured remote
for your current branch, you must specify a branch on the command line.

This happened because we renamed the repository from "repo" to "mcviz".

You need to do the following:

  • Look in your plaintext mcviz/.git/config file

  • Find lines that look like this:

    url = [email protected]:mcviz/repo.git

(or git://github.com/mcviz/repo.git or https://github.com/mcviz/repo.git)

and change repo to mcviz, i.e:

url = [email protected]:mcviz/mcviz.git

Then you will also want to prune the repo_moved branch with

$ git remote prune origin
