I don't have an answer, but you can confirm your belief that repo is NOT up to date with remote. 

A) Do `git remote -v` to verify remote repo config is correct.
B) Do `git describe` to see the HEAD of local repo.
C) Do `git ls-remote -h` to look at HEAD of remote.

B and C should have same SHA values. Do they have same SHA?

I'm going to assume that the "other_branch" is another branch that is hosted on the remote repository and that you also have some history of that branch in your local repo.

Try this:

git checkout another_branch git pull origin another_branch git checkout mybranch git merge another_branch

This will :

  • put you in your local version of another_branch
  • pull any remote changes to another_branch to your local version
  • put you in your local version of mybranch
  • merge the local version of another_branch in the local version of mybranch
