delta/buildstream.git/tests/cachekey/project/sources/git3.bst, branch chandan/python3.8 gitlab.com: buildstream/buildstream.git git source plugin: Track git tags and save them to reproduce a minimum shallow repository 2018-12-05T09:47:52+00:00 Valentin David valentin.david@codethink.co.uk 2018-10-26T14:38:53+00:00 8251310950e72f18c2d171de375051fb0e126655 Instead of tag information being fetched which can change with time, they are tracked and saved in the projects.refs/.bst. Then we re-tag automatically the closest tag so that `git describe` works and is reproducible. This new feature is opt-in with the new `track-tags` configuration, and must be used to fix modules which are broken by our new policy of omitting the `.git/` repository when staging git sources. This fixes issue #487
