    • Type: Bug
    • Resolution: Not A Defect
    • Priority: Minor
    • Component/s: git-client-plugin, git-plugin
    • Environment:

      I am noticing that the command bellow fails 

      git -c core.askpass=true fetch --tags --progress https://github.com/myproject.git +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

      While tracing through the error log, I see that it fails to fetch the repo and then returns a status code of 128. What makes this very confusing is that is prints this out as the reason
      stderr: fatal: Reference directory conflict: refs/heads/
