Description
My CI pushes some generate files to <current branch/tag>-deploy branches/tags. Usually I don't want to fetch them, so I added two negative fetch refspecs:
[remote "origin"]
url = https://github.com/Frederick888/playground.git
pushurl = git@github.com:Frederick888/playground.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
fetch = ^refs/heads/*-deploy
fetch = ^refs/tags/*-deploy
tagOpt = --tags
gh-resolved = base
This breaks gitstatus.
For example, git clone https://github.com/Frederick888/playground.git; cd playground; git reset --hard HEAD~, then without the negative refspecs, the response is:
'id'
'1'
'/Users/frederick/programming/Others/playground'
'b46755b65173bbc9733356ec8a7a8c0214f33910'
'master'
'master'
'origin'
'https://github.com/Frederick888/playground.git'

With the negative refspecs, the response is:
'id'
'1'
'/Users/frederick/programming/Others/playground'
'b46755b65173bbc9733356ec8a7a8c0214f33910'
