Git flow release start with hash code fails
mamejimenez opened this issue · comments
The following may be a Git Flow issue or a Git for Windows issue. In addition to this ticket I also opened the following:
With the following environment:
Git for Windows:
git version 2.21.0.windows.1
cpu: x86_64
built from commit: 2481c4cbe949856f270a3ee80c802f5dd89381aa
sizeof-long: 4
sizeof-size_t: 8
Windows Version:
$ cmd.exe /c ver
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
I have the following issue
$ git flow release start v12.12.12.0 8c165e101d7b2d8f8e7bd6f73edc9a56c3e9c4cf
Fatal: Base '8c165e101d7b2d8f8e7bd6f73edc9a56c3e9c4cf' needs to be a branch. It
does not exist and is required.
Notes
This does not happen when using Git for Windows version 2.13.1.windows.2 or git for *nix 2.17.
The same issue happens when using SourceTool 3.1.2 (embedded or system).
The work around is to use the following raw command:
git checkout -b release/12.12.12.0 8c165e101d7b2d8f8e7bd6f73edc9a56c3e9c4cf
Please note that @nvie did not have the decency to mark this project as dead. That's why hundreds of contributors waste their time to find out that it is.
