Release tracking broken

[KayEss]

I'm trying to track a release, and can't

$ git flow version 
1.6.1 (AVH Edition)
$ git branch -a
* develop
master
remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
remotes/origin/NI
remotes/origin/develop
remotes/origin/docker
remotes/origin/feature/BMF-749-number-of-membership
remotes/origin/feature/bmf-725
remotes/origin/feature/bmf869
remotes/origin/feature/test-deploy
remotes/origin/master
remotes/origin/release/12624
$ git flow release track 12624 
Fatal: Branch 'release/12624' already exists. Pick another name.

@KayEss It was fixed in cd3c7a8. Please upgrade your version.

Ok. That's a shame, because this is the version packaged with trusty. Hopefully the next release out in a couple of weeks will fix this.

Utopic is likely to ship with 1.6, which still has this issue. For some odd reason, they're not syncing the git-flow package from Debian (which has 1.8). Grabbing the package from Debian should do the trick (it will work fine on Ubuntu).

That's annoying isn't it? In that case we'll grab the upstream debian package instead. Thanks for the heads up :)

Very annoying, yesterday I came across the same problem and it turned out that it is already fixed. However Ubuntu has an old version... ;(

I filed a sync request, which was approved, so hopefully an updated version will make it into ubuntu shortly.
