There seems to be a bug with the branch names:

Works for me. Looks like you somehow have color codes in your branch names. In addition, all failing branches are elsewhere valid branches that you already have tracked.

[shibumi]

mhhh funny. Where does these color codes come from?

[falconindy]

git maybe? I have no idea

[shibumi]

I have set color.branch = always in my gitconfig. Thats possibly the reason for this behaviour. Shouldn't asp filter the color codes? Does this have any impact on asp?

[falconindy]

Disable it and find out? Perhaps I should override that in asp's git config

[shibumi]

without my gitconfig I get the following output:

==> updating remote 'packages'
From git://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages
 * branch            packages/gcc -> FETCH_HEAD
 * branch            packages/mutt -> FETCH_HEAD
 * branch            packages/quagga -> FETCH_HEAD
==> updating remote 'community'
From git://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community
 * branch            packages/cowfortune -> FETCH_HEAD
 * branch            packages/dolphin-emu -> FETCH_HEAD
 * branch            packages/linux-hardened -> FETCH_HEAD
 * branch            packages/mbedtls -> FETCH_HEAD
 * branch            packages/nrpe -> FETCH_HEAD
 * branch            packages/python-magic -> FETCH_HEAD

So it's definitly my .gitconfig. Overwriting it in your asp git config is a good idea :)
