No commit found for revision string:

Question

I want to add the changes of one branch to other branch in the same repo. I am not sure if that means merging the first branch into second.So, I tried this

def grgit = org.ajoberstar.grgit.Grgit.open(dir: project.parent.projectDir)
    grgit.checkout(branch: 'test_dest')
    grgit.fetch()
    grgit.merge(head: 'master')
    grgit.push()

But when I execute the task, I get an error ' No commit found for revision string'. Any pointers, how can I make this work

stacktrace :

Can you provide more information about this? Such as your stack trace. — ajoberstar, Aug 18 '16 at 02:16
Somehow the code you show and the error message do not fit together—or you forgot to mention the configuration of your repository. What is the configuration of branch `first`, which branch does it track etc.? — Andreas Wolf, Aug 30 '16 at 09:16
There is nothing special about first branch or second branch. I just created few branches in a repo to check how merge works. — sver, Aug 30 '16 at 18:53

No commit found for revision string: HEAD I was getting this issue. I had done git init, but had not committed or pushed to repository. So I was getting this error.

Then I committed and pushed to correct branch and then this error vanished.

For future googlers

I'm start to using semantic-release and my project use tags in this format: 1.0.0

The project stopped to build and was given me that message:

> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':project-name:classpath'.
   > No commit found for revision string: v1.0.0^{commit}

That is because the default tag format accepted by this gradle plugin is v1.0.0

The solution was pretty simple. Just put the below code in your build.gradle

release {
    tagStrategy {
        prefixNameWithV = false
    }
}

No commit found for revision string:
