Hi

Is git.auto.fetch considered during materialization?

I have it in my rmap, but if I materialize an eclipse workspace again
(using the same cloned repository) it never auto pulls changes (I saw
also this http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/221619/ ). The same
holds if I remove the eclipse workspace and start the materialization again.

Indeed, by looking at
http://git.eclipse.org/c/buckminster/buckminster.git/tree/org.eclipse.buckminster.git/src/org/eclipse/buckminster/git/internal/RepositoryAccess.java
the property is stored in the field autoFetch but never used later...

cheers
Lorenzo

Not really. That functionality was written as part of the first incarnation of the git support feature. I didn't know
enough about git to do a proper evaluation for a requirement spec. My current recommendation would be to not use it. If
someone has the time to look into how this should be implemented properly, then I'd be very interested in reviewing a
patch. One thing that comes to mind immediately is that the auto.fetch should be called auto.pull (since that's what it
was intended as).

OK, I'll submit a bug and see whether I can come up with something :)

Hi

What is the status of this?

I appear to need to delete my Hudson Workspace to get a GIT 'refresh'.
Searching comes up with this correspondence.

On my Hudson HIPP I appear to have only the choice of Buckminster 4.2 so
perhaps 4.3 or 4.4 may have already fixed it.

But when I look at

https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.buckminster/governance

I see that the current version of Buckminster is 2.0.0 perhaps released
18 months ago but if so without a release review. No plans for further
releases.

I'm really confused. What is the best Buckminster version and does it
fix the GIT refresh problem?

Regards

Ed Willink
