Git repository without branch in project.xml
cajt opened this issue · comments
Running lbuild init with a project.xml containing a git repo without a defined branch silently fails to clone the repository.
An error message or exception might be useful.
The functionality is not documented on purpose, since it's not particularly robust. Not even entirely sure this should be part of lbuild at all.

I'm not sure what you include in "the functionality", but please consider that managing the repo makes a huge part of the build process reproducible.
Yes, sorry, that sentence reads a bit rude, I’ll talk to Fabian to figure out how we proceed, because we don’t want to build a package manager here, and this is definitely going in that direction.
