git error: There are still logs under

Question

I am trying to use git fetch --all but it gives me errors when fetching a certain repository.

error: There are still logs under '.git/logs/refs/remotes/tpickel/RS'

and

! [new branch] RS -> tpickel/RS (unable to update local ref)

What went wrong and how to fix it?

Answer 1

I had similar issue, deleting .git/logs/refs/remotes/tpickel/RS/foo resolved it

Answer 2

Running "rm -rf .git/logs" solved my problem.
