Cloning a given repo from github, then pushing to a fresh repo on bitbucket, and I get the error:
> fatal: remote part of refspec is not a valid name in :capabilities^{}
> fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
What does the error mean - and what's causing it (I'm still new to git).
Here's the log:
- clone from github:
$ git clone git://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel.git test2
$ cd test2
- create a private git repo on bitbucket:
on the site GUI
- add remote:
$ git remote add bbtest2 https://[email protected]/shishani/test2.git
$ git remote -v
bbtest2 https://[email protected]/shishani/test2.git (fetch)
bbtest2 https://[email protected]/shishani/test2.git (push)
origin git://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel.git (fetch)
origin git://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel.git (push)
$ git branch -a

I would first push the master branch, to initialize your empty BitBucket repo history.
Then I would push everything else.
git push bbtest2 master
git push --mirror bbtest2
