checkout with setUpstreamMode doesn't update config [message #898742]

Hi all,

I must say that I'm not a Git expert and so I'm not a jgit expert as well Wink

So maybe the problem is in my approach and not in jgit Wink

I'm using org.eclipse.jgit-2.0.0.201206130900-r.jar.

There's a remote repository with two branches 'master' and 'v2.0', v2.0 is the active one.

Now I want to clone this repository and checkout master as remote tracking branch:

Git repo = Git.cloneRepository().
  setURI(remoteUrl).
  setCloneAllBranches(true).
  setNoCheckout(false).
  setDirectory(repoDir).
  call();

repo.branchCreate().
  setUpstreamMode(SetupUpstreamMode.TRACK).
  setName(branch).
  call();

Now when I want to update my local repo via

new Git(repo).pull().call();

jgit throws an "no values for key branch.master.merge" found in configuration" exception.

This is because there is no section inside the config:

[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master

However when using the c-git, this section is created automatically:

$ git clone <remote-repo>
$ cd <repo>
$ git checkout -t origin/master
$ cat .git/config
...
[branch "v2.0"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/v2.0
[branch "master"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/master

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance and best regards
Udo

You must call setStartPoint so JGit knows what branch to track, just
as you did with C Git.
