cd /usr/share/mediawiki20/core/extensions; git pull; git submodule update --init; worked ok Sept. 25th, today it crashes on the Persona extension with error: fatal: reference is not a tree: 655d019b84689e37b3fb1018600f629c657fb575 Unable to checkout '655d019b84689e37b3fb1018600f629c657fb575' in submodule path 'Persona' All alphabetically following extensions cannot be updated by the command. Please check for some git config or corruption in the Persona extension.
Works for me: reedy@ubuntu64-web-esxi:/var/www/wiki/mediawiki/extensions$ git pull Already up-to-date. reedy@ubuntu64-web-esxi:/var/www/wiki/mediawiki/extensions$ git submodule update Persona Submodule path 'Persona': checked out '655d019b84689e37b3fb1018600f629c657fb575' Delete the extension folder and then re-pull/submodule update Also, git head is now mediawiki 1.21
Thanks for checking, error thus seems to be on our side (1.21: setting git checkout REL1_20, that is not a problem). I rechecked and the error still occurs. If you know: Does a less drastic option than deleting all extensions exist? (Deleting all is a hassle, because a number of extensions not yet available in git as well as some local ones are interspersed with the git ones.) I had already tried to delete the Persona folder, of course, but that does not help.
