Git提交树出现多根节点？Bitbucket与SourceTree使用求助

Hey there, sorry to hear you're hitting this weird Git tree display issue with Bitbucket and SourceTree—total bummer when tools you rely on act up out of nowhere! Let's walk through some practical fixes, since formatting your computer is clearly a ridiculous suggestion (who even says that? 😅):

1. Clear Caches & Refresh #

Corrupted local caches are often the culprit wonky UI behavior:

• SourceTree: Head to Tools > Options > Git and click Clear Cache. Then fully restart SourceTree—don't just close and reopen, make sure it's completely shut down first.
• Bitbucket Web UI: Do a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows/Linux, Cmd+Shift+R on Mac) to wipe browser cache. If you're on a work VPN, try disconnecting temporarily to rule out network-side caching.

2. Verify & Repair Your Git Repository #

A corrupted repo can mess up tree rendering. Open your terminal, navigate to your project folder, and run these commands:

git fsck --full
git gc --prune=now

git fsck checks for broken or missing Git objects, while git gc cleans up unnecessary files and optimizes the repo. If you see errors, follow the on-screen prompts to fix them—if corruption is bad, you might need to clone the repo fresh (we'll get to that next).

3. Update SourceTree to the Latest Version #

Outdated versions often have known bugs with tree sorting. Go to Help > Check for Updates and install any available patches. Atlassian regularly fixes display-related quirks in new releases, so this could resolve the date sorting issue instantly.

4. Test with a Fresh Repository Clone #

Sometimes local repo configs get messed up in hidden ways. Clone your repo into a clean folder and check if the problem persists:

git clone <your-repo-url> ./fresh-test-clone

Open this new clone in SourceTree and toggle between date and ancestor sorting. If it works normally, your original repo had a config/cache issue—you can either use the fresh clone or copy your uncommitted changes over to it.

5. Rule Out Browser/Extension Issues (Bitbucket Web) #

If the glitch is happening in Bitbucket's web interface:

• Try using a different browser (e.g., switch from Chrome to Firefox) to see if extensions or browser-specific bugs are interfering.
• Double-check your repo settings: Go to Settings > Repository details to make sure there are no unusual branch restrictions or custom settings that might break tree rendering.

If none of these steps fix the problem, reach out to Atlassian support with specific details:

• Screenshots of the abnormal display (both date and ancestor sorting views)
• Your SourceTree version, Git version, and browser version (if applicable)
• Any recent changes you made to your repo or system before the issue started
