When trying to pull (Team|Pull from the context menu) in a git repository in Eclipse I get Could not get advertised Ref for branch refs/heads/develop error. I guess that's because remote branch named develop was deleted in the meantime. Branch develop is currently checked out.
How to fix this?
Can I configure git and/or Eclipse so that I don't get this error next time some other remote branch gets deleted?
As I mention in "How do you stop tracking a remote branch in git?", you can unset the associated remote tracking branch with:
git config --unset branch.develop.remote
git config --unset branch.develop.merge
It is certainly possible to edit the fetch/push specifications of a branch in EGit (see "Direct Fetch and Push Support "), but I find it so much quicker through the git CLI (command line interface).
