For My case i did 3 steps to achieve the sucessful build.

revert all the local changes if any (or just keep a copy of it in case you need it for future use)
Do a git clean up, do a pull and check the logs for error
GO to the git bash option and the error i was getting in log in above stem (i my case ) as "error: cannot lock ref and the branch details", so in the git bash i ran the following command git update-ref -d 'Branch_name'

For example if the error was something like **

ISSUE

**error: cannot lock ref 'refs/remotes/origin/EXMPLEISSUE/EXAMPLE-1011_DEMO_web_interface_DOES_NOT_GET_GIT_UPDATE':

Then i ran following command git update-ref -d 'refs/remotes/origin/EXMPLEISSUE/EXAMPLE-1011_DEMO_web_interface_DOES_NOT_GET_GIT_UPDATE'

We have to ensure all the error in logs to be solved similarly before getting a successful pull by doing git update-ref -d 'Branch_name' and finally i can get the take the successful pull from git.

This is Just because you have made changes on your remote repository which was not pulled on your local repository   To resolve simply 1  Pull from remote repository to local repository  It will not undo any changes locally  It will just update local repository  2  Now push the changes to remote repository  It will work

Actually  this error message just says that there is some problem but no specifications of the problem  So  in my case  it was a pending pull request  I pulled the changes into my repo  and then pushed it again and it worked  Moreover  if there is an error on tortoisegit  I prefer to do the same on console  Console gives more detail error message

Right from my experience  I most often get this when I have locally changed files that will be over ridden by the pull  you need to stash or move the files before you can pull it

Actually  the easiest way to determine the error is to use  Git Sync      then perform a pull push from there - the error message is far more meaningful  i e  there is one  and at least in my case  my -1 was due to a network path issue
