external issue cms-sw/cmsdist#3622
thanks @kpedro88 , yes there was an issue with bot. I was not treating this repo as one of valid external repos. Issue is fixed now.
Currently, trying to reuse any of the
cms-...-topic
commands with the same remote branch produces error messages likefatal: A branch named 'foo_backup' already exists.
orfatal: A branch named 'foo' already exists.
.The easiest way to fix this is just to overwrite the branch and the backup branch by default (assuming that if the user wants to keep any of these branches, they can rename them, or change the name of the backup branch).
Also noticed that
cms-checkout-topic
was making a backup branch for no reason (it's not supposed to - the relevant arguments aren't shown in the usage), so disabled that.
