This drops the branch option. The version option is overloaded
to mean either a sha1, branch, or tag. This also adds the option
'remote' which defaults to 'origin'.
clone() was simplified by removing the checkout operation. That
happens later when switch_version() is called.
Added the methods get_branches(), is_remote_branch(), and
is_local_branch(). get_branches() returns an array listing all
of the branches for the git repository. is_remote_branch() checks
whether the arguments supplied correspond to a remote branch.
Similarly, is_local_branch() checks for a local branch.
The pull() method now checks to see if it is on the desired branch.
If not, it checks out the requested branch and then does a pull.
This should keep issue #604 still fixed.
switch_version(), formerly switchver(), looks to see if it is
checking out a branch. If a branch, it checks it out with the --track
option. This type of checkout was in pull() before.
Updated pull, clone, and switch_version to return (rc, out, err).
The ohai and facter modules use /usr/bin/logger to log the fact that
they have been invoked. I added 'import os' to the ping module
so that it could have the same syslog statements as the other modules.
I separated the condensed:
shlex.split(open(argfile, 'r').read())
into two separate statements similar to the other modules.
