Git checkout appears to get wrong branch [message #737092] Fri, 14 October 2011 16:46 Go to next message

I'm materializing a CQuery that resolves to serveral Git repositories, as well as some components from Subversion, p2 (for the target platform) etc.

All the Git repositories have "master" and a single branch called "1.0.0". After materialization, all the Git repositories are on branch "1.0.0".

There are no advisor nodes to specify the branch, so I would have expected them to have "master" checked out. Note that this is with a fresh clone that Buckminster has made.

Any ideas as to why this is?

Thanks
Matthew

That sounds odd. Is the repository public so that I can try it out?

No, sorry, it's not public. And I'm about to go off on holidays for 2 weeks. I'm presuming that it's an error on my part somewhere, and was hoping that someone coudl suggest where that might be.

Does Buckminster explicity checkout "master" once it's cloned the repository?

I have worked out how to reproduce this, and have a public repository that illustrates the problem.

I think it's a bug in either EGit or JGit. The underlying problem appears to be that EGit (or possibly JGit) checks out the most recently updated branch, rather than the default branch. If no branch is specified by Buckminster, the EGit/JGit can check out a non-default branch and pass it to Buckminster.

I and have posted about this on the EGit forum (see http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/789057/#msg_78905), with instructions on how to reproduce it.

It you want to reproduce it using Buckminster, you can

  1. Start Eclipse (with Buckminster installed) pointing to a fresh workspace.
  2. Make the "Git Repositories" view visible.
  3. Open the CQuery at http://www.opengda.org/buckminster/base/bug-demo.cquery
  4. Hit "Resolve and Materialize"

Note that the repository is cloned pointing to branch 1.0, even though master is the default (and what git clone gives you).

I just noticed that there might be a Buckminster problem as well.

To my advisor node in the CQuery, I added a Branch/Tag path: of main. My assumption was that Buckminster would tell EGit/JGit that it wanted the master branch. However, I still got the 1.0 branch.

Does main mean anything in the Git context?

This bug will be fixed in EGit 1.3 (the fix is already available in the EGit nightly repository, see the thread on the EGit forum for details).
