GitLab

Created by: soullivaneuh

In one project of our Gitlab, we have some ghost branches starting by origin/*:

I'm talking about ghost branches because this branches doesn't appear on git cli:

# Did it after a fresh git clone of the project.
$ git branch --all
* master
  remotes/origin/846
  remotes/origin/860
  remotes/origin/886
  remotes/origin/926
  remotes/origin/928
  remotes/origin/935
  remotes/origin/938
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/dc
  remotes/origin/develop
  remotes/origin/hotfix
  remotes/origin/master
  remotes/origin/pre_production
  remotes/origin/unit_tests

As you can see branch origin/11_Finalisation_outil_reporting and origin/CGU_FRONT seems to not exists.

And it's just an example. For this project, gitlab web GUI is showing 131 branches, most starting by origin/ name.

If I try to delete one of this branch on GUI, the webserver response seems to be OK, but the concerned branch reappear immediately if I refresh the branches list page.

Here, an extract of production.log:

Started DELETE "/mygroup/www/branches/origin/11_Finalisation_outil_reporting" for 127.0.0.1 at 2015-02-03 11:24:21 +0100

Processing by Projects::BranchesController#index as HTML
  Parameters: {"project_id"=>"mygroup/www"}
Completed 200 OK in 161ms (Views: 140.0ms | ActiveRecord: 4.1ms)

I don't have any more information, can't determinate the source of the problem.

I'm using:

• Gitlab -> 7.7.2 bd98290, latest version
• Gitlab shell -> 2.4.2
• git -> 1.8.5.2

Thanks for your help.
