GitLab CI build fails with error some local refs could not be updated

I have renamed multiple remote branches using the following command:

git push <remote> <remote>/<old_name>:refs/heads/<new_name> :<old_name>

Now the GitLab CI builds fail with the following error message:

gitlab-ci-multi-runner 1.0.4 (014aa8c)
Using Docker executor with image node:4.4.5 ...
Pulling docker image node:4.4.5 ...

error: some local refs could not be updated; try running
 'git remote prune origin' to remove any old, conflicting branches

ERROR: Build failed with: exit code 1

I have already run the command git remote prune origin but it didn’t help.

What can I do to fix the issue?

In the GitLab's project settings, try to set "git clone" instead of "git fetch".

I believe that this comment should be the accepted answer!
