I've successfully cloned a large repository as follows (I'm showing just parts of it here):
# git tfs clone --debug --gitignore=/d/Repos/VisualStudio.gitignore --changeset=51731 --branches=all http://server:8080/tfs/MyCollection $/MyProject/Main MyProject
However, I've had a number of errors in the log like
$/MyProject/Releases/21.1
=>error:GitTfs.Core.GitTfsException: error: Couldn't fetch parent branch
at GitTfs.Commands.InitBranch.InitBranchSupportingRename(String tfsBranchPath, String gitBranchNameExpected, IList`1 creationBranchData, IGitTfsRemote defaultRemote, IFetchResult& fetchResult)
at GitTfs.Commands.InitBranch.InitializeBranches(IGitTfsRemote defaultRemote, List`1 childBranchPaths)
Now I have:
# git tfs branch -r
Found matching Visual Studio version at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional
TFS branch structure:
$/MyProject/Main -> default [*]
|
+- $/MyProject/Releases/20.1 -> Releases/20.1
|
+- $/MyProject/Releases/21.1 -> Releases/21.1
| |
| +- $/MyProject/Releases/21.1.0 -> Releases/21.1.0
but the repo only has
# git branch
Releases/21.1.0
* master
# git branch --all
Releases/21.1.0
* master
remotes/tfs/Releases/20.1
remotes/tfs/Releases/21.1
remotes/tfs/Releases/21.1.0
remotes/tfs/default
The Releases/20.1 and Releases/21.1 local branches are missing. I've run
# git tfs branch --init $/MyProject/Releases/20.1
warning : There is already a remote for this tfs branch. Branch ignored!
# git tfs branch --init $/MyProject/Releases/21.1
warning : There is already a remote for this tfs branch. Branch ignored!
and
# git tfs fetch -d --all
The latter gave me some additional changesets:

And I still don't have the Releases/20.1 and Releases/21.1 branches.
Can I fix this somehow?
Thanks in advance!
