Description Christian Persch 2012-08-17 12:01:02 UTC 
It seems I made a mishap in gucharmap git module. I has a '3.5.1' branch *as well as* a 3.5.1 tag, and I cannot delete the branch:

$ git push origin :3.5.1
error: dst refspec 3.5.1 matches more than one.
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://git.gnome.org/git/gucharmap'

So could a sysadmin please remove the 3.5.1 branch (the tag should continue to exist)? Thanks!

You should be able to do:

 git push origin :refs/heads/3.5.1

The version without refs/heads is just a shorthand. Please reopen if that doesn't work for you.

Thanks, that fixed it.
