I have in the past found it confusing how to handle it, but now I find it tolerable (and don't recognize the "better to start from scratch" judgement), after I figured out (as also hinted at in one of the links by gregor) that you need to do the following, in that order: 1. unlock branch "upstream" on salsa 2. rename branch "upstream" → "upstream/latest" on salsa (or delete it) 3. rename branch "upstream" → "upstream/latest" locally 4. push local changes to salsa (strictly speaking you can do step 3 before 1-2) > Additionally, in my opinion debian/latest is a mistake we should not > recommend. Please elaborate why you consider it a mistake. That's not obvious to me. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
