To be clear, the wip/dmd-arity is not the only branch I've received e-mails about. I've also received "Remove mirror update failed" e-mails of a similar caliber that warn about the wip/slowtest, ghc-8.6, ghc-8.8-merges, wip/marge_bot_batch_merge_job, and master branches. Are you not received these as well? They almost seem to happen any time any commit is landed. Ryan S. On Sat, Apr 6, 2019 at 2:28 PM Ben Gamari wrote:

Almost every day now I receive an e-mail from GitLab titled "Remote mirror update failed", which contains something like:

To

! [remote rejected] wip/dmd-arity -> wip/dmd-arity (cannot lock ref 'refs/heads/wip/dmd-arity': is at e1cc1254b81a7adadd8db77c7be625497264ab2b but expected f07b61d047967129a3ae0c56f8894d41c5a9b036)

error: failed to push some refs to '[FILTERED]@github.com/ghc/ghc'

Hmm, how annoying. Strangely, the `wip/dmd-arity` branch currently appears to be sitting at the same commit on GitLab and GitHub so I'm not really sure what to do here.

sgraf, did you ever push a branch manually to the github.com/ghc/ghc mirror?

This GitLab CE issue seems relevant: [1] (I'm writing this just as I receive another "Remote mirror update failed" e-mail, this time about the wip/lint-check-version-number branch.)

Strangely I'm not. I did receive a number of similar emails for other repositories in March but I have not received any recently and never any concerning ghc/ghc. This is extremely strange given that I created the project and we both have maintainer role.
