/* NOTE:
|
|
fetchgit has one problem: git fetch only works for refs.
|
|
This is because fetching arbitrary (maybe dangling) commits may be a security risk
|
|
and checking whether a commit belongs to a ref is expensive. This may
|
|
change in the future when some caching is added to git (?)
|
|
Usually refs are either tags (refs/tags/*) or branches (refs/heads/*)
|
|
Cloning branches will make the hash check fail when there is an update.
|
|
But not all patches we want can be accessed by tags.
|
|
|
|
The workaround is getting the last n commits so that it's likly that they
|
|
still contain the hash we want.
|
|
|
|
for now : increase depth iteratively (TODO)
|
|
|
|
real fix: ask git folks to add a
|
|
git fetch $HASH contained in $BRANCH
|
|
facility because checking that $HASH is contained in $BRANCH is less
|
|
expensive than fetching --depth $N.
|
|
Even if git folks implemented this feature soon it may take years until
|
|
server admins start using the new version?
