Description

Environment: Ubuntu 14.04.1

Problem: Can't checkout a specific branch in a git repository. The example project here is rsb-matlab. However, I also experienced this problem with other projects. Using the command line, the checkout of this specific branch works without problems.

swrede@ubuntu:~/workspace/citk$ job-configurator --on-error=continue -d distributions/fleximon.distribution -t 'templates/*.template'
1 problem during ANALYZE/PROJECT phase:

#2 Updated by Sebastian Wrede over 9 years ago

Just an observation: This does not happen on my Ubuntu 12.02 install. Maybe it is related to the different git versions, which are:

  • Ubuntu 14.04: 1.9.1
  • Ubuntu 12.04: 1.7.9.5

#3 Updated by Jan Moringen over 9 years ago

Seems to be change in git behavior for shallow clones (note the --depth=1 and the different number of transferred objects):

#4 Updated by Jan Moringen over 9 years ago

  • Status changed from New to In Progress

Newer git versions seem to require the --no-single-branch clone option to make all branches available in a shallow clone. See http://git-scm.com/docs/git-clone.

#5 Updated by Johannes Wienke over 9 years ago

Maybe we can get around this error by specifying the branch already at teh clone operation using -b?

#6 Updated by Jan Moringen over 8 years ago

  • % Done changed from 0 to 50

Will probably be solved by the solution for #412.

#7 Updated by Jan Moringen about 8 years ago

  • Status changed from In Progress to Resolved
  • % Done changed from 50 to 100

Should be fixed in build-generator master.
