Delete branch/tag issue through SSH

[Marcelo Avila de Oliveira]

Hi,

I get the following error when trying to remove a branch using SSH:

> git push ssh://gerrit.cpqd.com.br:29418/sandbox/helloworld :refs/heads/test_branch

remote: Branch refs/heads/test_branch:

remote: You need 'Push' rights with the 'Force Push'

remote: flag set to delete references.

remote: User: mavila

remote: Please read the documentation and contact an administrator

remote: if you feel the configuration is incorrect

remote: Processing changes: refs: 1, done    

To ssh://gerrit.cpqd.com.br:29418/sandbox/helloworld

 ! [remote rejected] test_branch (cannot delete references)

error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://gerrit.cpqd.com.br:29418/sandbox/helloworld'

The error do not happen if I use HTTP:

> git push https://gerrit.cpqd.com.br/sandbox/helloworld :refs/heads/test_branch

remote: Processing changes: refs: 1, done    

To https://gerrit.cpqd.com.br/sandbox/helloworld

 - [deleted]         test_branch

Notes:

- The same problem happens trying to remove a tag using SSH

- I have 'Push' rights with the 'Force Push' set for 'refs/heads/*' and 'refs/tags/*'

- The 'delete' button in the web UI works nicely too

I reproduced this in 2.6-rc2 and 2.5.2-1277-gca0bdda

Thanks & regards,

I also have similar issue, I have grant Push and Force Push privilege to administrators, 

But I still can not delete tag by git command as below:

    git push origin +:refs/tags/sometag

My Gerrit version is 2.6-rc1, Does anyone else also encountered the same issue?  Does this fixed in the latest version, which is 2.6-rc3 maybe?

[Edwin Kempin]

yes, upgrading should fix this issue, see [1]
