Eclipse远程跟踪分支突然全不见了

Question

I used to have many branches in remote tracking.

After I set the GIT_TRACE_PACKET to be 1, change the GIT remote connection timeout to be 6000, import a new repository project down tried for so many times due to premature EOF error, at the end I successfully import the repository.

However, the remote tracking branches are all missing for all the projects including the existing project's remote tracking at the end.

I tried to set the GIT_TRACE_PACKET to be 0 or retry importing the project but it's still the same.
I doubt that maybe some kind of configuration changed and made the remote tracking branches to be missing.

Answer 1

Switch to command line and check you git config --get remote.origin.fetch refspec .

To fetch all branches, the refspec needs to be:

+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

If the refspec is:

+refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master

Then a fetch would only bring back the master branch.
This is typical of a git clone --branch develop --single-branch .

So change your fetch refspec, do a git fetch , and double-check the remote tracking branches with git branch -avv .

Finally, switch back to Eclipse and check the remote tracking section.

I found another alternative way to solve this problem. 1. Delete the file C:\\Users*****\\workspace.metadata folder. 2. Open the eclipse again. 3. Your eclipse configuration are all reset as origin.

Answer 3

Deleting .metadata will remove all the projects from Eclipse and will reset everything. So, best solution is to perform a pull (Right Click -> Team -> Pull) and then try rebasing. If this doesn't work, delete the eclipse project and local repository and the checkout the branch again. Then do a Pull and try rebasing.
