How can I fix "Cannot determine head revision of ... on branch ... Branch has probably been removed"?

Question

I am getting the following exception when trying to pull changes from master branch. How can I fix it?

com.atlassian.bamboo.repository.RepositoryException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.atlassian.bamboo.repository.InvalidRepositoryException: Cannot determine head revision of 'https://bitbucket.org/.../dev' on branch 'release/3.1.2'. Branch has probably been removed.

I don't think so. The error refers to:

... on branch 'release/3.1.2'. Branch has probably been removed.

The branch 'release/3.1.2' has indeed been removed, but the repository is configured to use master branch. Why is it looking for another one?

Also, check these two:

Hi, Leandro.

Check if you're not affected by the following bug:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-14901

This happens when branch name and a tag short name are the same. If so, check if changing either helps.
