Attempting to remove tag results in exception #260
Description
Activity
In the meantime, I can work around this by running
repo.git.tag('-d', 'new_tag').Thanks for bringing this up.
Even though I didn't reproduce it yet, it seems thatstale_refsis getting the category of returned refs totally wrong, and thus handles tags as branches. The code indicates that as well.@Byron Yeah, I had assumed something similar to that was happening, due to the fact that
ref.delete()was trying to run agit branchcommand. Thanks for taking a look and confirming!Please note that I was unable to reproduce the issue, despite doing my best to achieve that.
The code was adjusted anyway to allow returning specialised references as well though.
Please give it a whirl and let me know if something else is wrong with it.Thanks, I'll install from git on Monday or Tuesday and test.
I am attempting to use GitPython to remove a tag from a local clone which does not exist in the remote repo. After fetching a remote, remote.stale_refs shows the following stale tag:
<git.RemoteReference "refs/remotes/refs/tags/new_tag">. This already seems to be a problem, as the path to the tag should berefs/tags/new_tag. When I runref.delete(repo, ref)(whererefis thegit.RemoteReferenceandrepois its correspondinggit.Repoinstance), I get the following exception:Additionally,
ref.nameis set torefs/tags/new_tag, so at least that much looks correct.My GitPython version is 0.3.2.1. I have not yet had a chance to test with a newer version.
