I bet this means that that `switch-to-qt5` branch was deleted on the
remote side, in which case...

... Git would lie here and simply use the locally-cached version of the
last successfully-fetched `switch-to-qt5` branch.
To test this, you could pass the `--prune` option to `pull` (see
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-pull#Documentation/git-pull.txt---prune for
details), then try both pulls, and I bet _both_ will now fail.
Ciao,
