gclient sync on a release branch

[m...@deanwild.co.uk]

On the master branch gclient sync works fine, but now I'm trying to execute a gclient sync on a release branch.

I checkout a branch like so:

git checkout -b branch-62 refs/remotes/branch-heads/62

I then sync using:

gclient sync --jobs=1

But i get the following:

src (ERROR)

Error: Could not switch upstream branch from refs/remotes/branch-heads/62 to refs/remotes/origin/master
Please use --force or merge or rebase manually:
cd /home/dean/WEBRTC/webrtc/src; git rebase refs/remotes/origin/master
OR git checkout -b <some new branch> refs/remotes/origin/master

Seems like gclient sync is trying to switch me back to master.

Any ideas?

Figured it out - my gclient checkout was using the now deprecated 'managed' mode. Setting 'managed' to False in my .gclient file solved it.
