There is a bug in the `hg` module where if a `tag` is used it won't
properly be able to update to it.
This problem is exhibited on repository where a tag is moved from an
older commit to a newer commit.
This adds two parameters to the git module:
bare (boolean)
Indicates this is to be a bare repositori
reference (string)
Indicates the path or url to the reference repo.
Check out the "--reference" option in the "git clone"
man page
Added appropriate tests.
The return values from check mode and non-check mode should match in all cases,
except when a SHA-1 hash is used as version, as there is no way to check if it
is a valid hash using `git ls-remote`.
Also, to accomodate this change, the force flag for the reset function has been
removed so that we can do the checking in main.
For issue #3372, apply consistent parameter aliases to source_control
modules. For hg, add name and version and add to documentation string.
For subversion, add version and document version and name aliases in
documentation string.
"UnboundLocalError: local variable 'branch' referenced before assignment" is
raised in git, line 282, in switch_version.
Exception is raised when version is not branch and version checkout fails.
E.g. when version is nonexistant commit.
Git is unable to checkout the specified `version` when the repository is
cloned with a reduced history (`depth`). However, if the repository is
already cloned, subsequent git module calls will update the repository
(default update=True), then properly checkout the specified `version`.
To allow the initial call to properly clone the specified `version`, at
the specified `depth`, this patch adds the `--branch` parameter when
cloning the repository.
This does two things:
* add --recursive option to git clone command in clone(). This will
initialize all submodules when cloning a remote repository.
* Add submodule_update() and call that from fetch(). submodule_update()
calls two git commands iff the file .gitmodules exists in the
repository:
* 'git submodule sync' - synchronizes the submodules' remote URL
configuration setting to the value in .gitmodules.
* 'git submodule update --init --recursive' - initialize and update
registered submodules to the commit specified in the index of the
containing repository.
If a repository was cloned without --recursive, submodule_update() will
ensure that the submodules are initialized and updated.
Migrated all examples: in DOCUMENTATION=''' string to standalone EXAMPLES=''' string
Added deprecation warning to moduledev.rst and remove deprecated example from it
Fixed up a few typos and uppercased some acronyms.
add consistency to how EXAMPLES are formatted
