976361 - occasional failures in vcs2vcs pushes to gecko.git

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[u429623]

Starting today, the error below has been seen six times, but never before today:
  remote: error: denying non-fast-forward refs/heads/v1.3t

The problem always self corrects, but appears to be independent of changes in the repo.

Rough timeline.
 Fri, Feb 21 - latest commit to 1.3t (merge from 1.3)
 Sat, Feb 22 - box shutdown for bios update & restarted
 Mon, Feb 24 - error messages start appearing.

I'll paste a log below

Attachment: log since box restart

This log shows more detail of the errors than the email messages, and provide context of surrounding operations.

Hi Hal,
Is this something we should fix, or should we wait to migrate to the new vcs2vcs system, and see if the problem still exists then?

Thanks,
Pete

Unknown if this needs "fixing" or just a one-day anomaly. If it doesn't recur within a week, I'll close, and we'll have a bread crumb if it surfaces again.

I saw this when there was a branch with the same name on two repos, and they weren't in sync.

Not seen since, not enough information to take action closing.
