Sourcetree - Fatal: ArgumentException encountered. WHY?

[Claire Jamieson]

When doing a PULL request i always get this:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false fetch origin
Fatal: ArgumentException encountered.

WHY? 

Gratned, the Pull request is successful in the end but the fatal exception in the log always bothers me. Any ideas what is causing it?

I encountered the same problem. You can go to "Tools"-"Options", in the "Git" tab, at the bottom of this tab, see which Git version you are using. If you "use System Git", the error could be due to an old version of Git. You can either choose to update your Git of your system, or choose "Use Embedded Git", see if the issue can be solved. I solved my issue in both ways.

I found the same issue, but I fixed after changing the Git options to "System Git"

Switching to Embedded Git seems to help. However, I would like to be able to use the one on my system which is newer.

I also tried to update the Credentials Manager for Windows as suggested here, but didn't work

Choosing 'Use Embedded GIT" resolved my issue.

I am also encountering the same problem. 

Did you manage to find an answer to this?

I am still getting this error. Switched between both gits, and downloaded the latest embedded git. No difference.

I've been getting the issue below.  I just updated my embedded git, but still seeing issue.  Any other suggestions?
