Hi,
I am trying to request epel-8 branch for rsh package but the request is
always closed as invalid with this explanation: "The branch in PDC already
exists". I have no idea what that means. I simply cannot find the epel-8
branch anywhere. Could anyone explain this and ideally point me in the
right direction as to where I can find the branch?
So the branch exists in PDC means that you can create the git branch yourself.
Simply: git checkout -b epel8 && git push -u origin epel8
If the push fails, you may have enabled the git hook preventing the creation of
new git branches, if so, you'll need to temporarily (or permanently, up to you)
disable this hook in the settings of the project.
We really ought to improve the message posted to the request here...
