Returned with exit code 1 and no explanation on trying to delete

[pratik60]

git-sweep cleanup --skip=master,release,staging --nofetch

Delete these branches? (y/n) y

deleting abctest'git push --porcelain origin :abctest' returned with exit code 1

What can I do to debug this further....any information I can provide?

I'm also experiencing this on Stash.

The issue (for me) is that git-sweep is reporting branches in Stash that don't actually exist as such any longer (error: unable to delete 'CA-6487_divided-classes-removal': remote ref does not exist).

I'm running into this issue too, no real idea how to debug it at this point.

Never mind, if you prune your remotes (for example: git fetch origin -p), it fixes this error.
