azure devops - VSTS Git Fetch Failed with exit code: 128

Question

It looks like a duplicate of this question but my issue is that I am running a hosted version. VSTS GIT Fetch Failed

I enabled system debug and pretty much allowed all roles all access since its only me at the moment. I had created a new project recently and that is the only thing that has changed for me in VSTS. I am running on a hosted agent and tried creating a new build pipeline. Has anyone faced this recently?

Answer 1

Another possible cause of the "Git fetch failed with exit code: 128" error message - it happened to us for pull requests builds when a developer clicked merge right after a pull request was created and the build, of course, hasn't finished yet.

So it was the "follow the process" solution for us. It could be enforced also.
