git svn - Branch name starting with '-' in git -
i moving svn git using git-svn, , of branches names started '-'. form this question , this migration documentation able pass parameters starting '-'. on creating branch git returns error stating:
fatal: '-closed-mybranch' not valid branch name.
i using gitlab. command running create branches is:
git for-each-ref refs/remotes | cut -d / -f 3- | grep -v @ | while read branchname; git branch -- "$branchname" --"refs/remotes/$branchname"; git branch -r -d -- "$branchname"; done
this articles explains legal branch names , think branch name legal. can tell me problem be?
ps: branch name not starting '-' imported.
it doesn't seem can create branch name starts dash:
$ git branch "-test" error: unknown switch `e'
it apparently thinks i'm trying set git branch
option -t
, , gives error on following e
.
it doesn't work command:
$ git checkout -b "-test" fatal: '-test' not valid branch name.
in case says -test
not valid branch name. it's best if change branch names won't start dash.
