Error: The branch attribute is not correctly formed

[voon]

When I tried to sync with git repository, I'm having error message like title said.
 
Then I tried to turn on cm.log.conf and I'm having log message like this, but I can't figure what really went wrong.

Hi,

 

It seems that there is an error in the branch´s git-sync attribute. Have you manually modified it?

 

Could you create a new clean Plastic repository and sync it with the git repository to check if it works fine?

 

Regards,

Carlos

It seems that there is an error in the branch´s git-sync attribute. Have you manually modified it?

Nope, I haven't modified anything in the repository.

 

Could you create a new clean Plastic repository and sync it with the git repository to check if it works fine?

A new clean repository would be no problem of course.

What I'm trying to do is to sync current plastic repositories (25 of them) to each respective git repository (new repository).

The first sync was success for all. But subsequent sync, 8 of them failed constantly with error message like said title.

And like mentioned also, I haven't touch anything in the data. It is a clean sync between plastic repositories and completely new git repositories.

[manu]

Are they public repositories?

 

Do we have any change of having access to the to reproduce and fix the issue?

[voon]

They are private I'm afraid.

One thing I want to say is that the repositories are fast-imported from v4 repositories as v4 doesn't support git-sync yet. Not sure is that matter?

Another thing is that there are no attributes created before both in v4 and v5 repositories.

[voon]

Ok, found out that it was "|" symbol in the branch name that causes the problem.

Strange the first sync was ok, but subsequent is not.

May be can look into fixing this?

[manu]

Thanks for the finding out the reason of the failure. We'll try to get it fixed.
