commit ff4299fcf372aef5d28fe7024a60d81d413fcd6f Author: Nicolas Vigier <boklm@torproject.org> Date: Tue Aug 1 22:40:16 2017 +0200 Only run 'git checkout --detach' when necessary Before updating local branches, we need to detach HEAD to be able to update the current branch. However, we only need to do that if we are on a branch, and when this branch exists. This avoids an error when the repository we have cloned does not have a master branch: in that case we are in a branch that does not exist, which cause an error when running 'git checkout --detach'. --- lib/RBM.pm | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/lib/RBM.pm b/lib/RBM.pm index 6825050..888c3e1 100644 --- a/lib/RBM.pm +++ b/lib/RBM.pm @@ -390,8 +390,12 @@ sub git_clone_fetch_chdir { if (git_need_fetch($project, $options)) { system('git', 'remote', 'set-url', 'origin', $git_url) == 0 || exit_error "Error setting git remote"; - system('git', 'checkout', '-q', '--detach') == 0 + my ($ref, undef, $success) = capture_exec('git', 'symbolic-ref', 'HEAD'); + chomp $ref; + if ($success && -e ".git/$ref") { + system('git', 'checkout', '-q', '--detach') == 0 || exit_error "Error running git checkout --detach"; + } system('git', 'fetch', @fetch_submod, 'origin', '+refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*') == 0 || exit_error "Error fetching git repository";
