Please name which branch you want to merge on the command line and try again (e.g. 'git pull '). See git-pull(1) for details on the refspec. If you often merge with the same branch, you may want to configure the following variables in your configuration file: branch.everything.remote = branch.everything.merge = remote..url = remote..fetch = See git-config(1) for details. jan@server:~/buildroot/linville/wireless-2.6$ git pull everything fatal: 'everything': unable to chdir or not a git archive fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Cannot get the repository state from everything
