Question

I am using dropbox as a git repository.

Now due to some issue in the syncing, there is some conflicted copy present in the git. How do I remove this conflict ?
Due to this conflict I am unable to clone the contents of that repository.

The error I am getting while cloning the repository is:-

Git :- fatal: Reference has invalid format: ‘refs/heads/debugging (xyz conflictedcopy date) ‘

Answer 1

The solution that eventually worked for me was to simply delete the branch that the reference refers to, e.g.

git branch -D "debugging (xyz conflictedcopy date)"

I had many such references, so it was “rinse and repeat”..
