Bug 577874 – git-2.eclass: git pull: error: unknown switch `u'

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 576156
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alex D. 2016-03-20 20:56:20 UTC]

Created attachment 428680 [details]
output of `emerge -d =dev-util/monodevelop-9999` command

It seems that incorrect command line switch is used while trying to emerge dev-util/monodevelop-9999.

I've resolved this problem by applying this simple modification:

P.S. dev-util/monodevelop-9999 is a part of "dotnet" overlay added via Layman,

Had the same problem with a morituri-9999 ebuild. Thanks for the fix.
