#19 Improve user-feedback on failure to create the git branches
Closed by humaton. Opened by pingou.

Closed
Reopen Issue

When a project has activated the git hook preventing new git branches from being created, process new branches via fedscm-admin reports no issues.
If the user asks for the branch being created again, the request gets closed with The branch in PDC already exists see: https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/15420 for example.

It would be great to adjust the comment to something like:

The branch in PDC already exists, you can now create it yourself as follow: 
Check in the project's settings if you have activated the git hook preventing new 
git branches from being created and if you did, de-activate it.
Then simply run in git:  ``git checkout -b <branch_name> && git push -u origin <branch_name>``.
You only need to do this once and you can then use fedpkg as you normally do.

This is done already.
