This commit also makes the dest parameter optional, unless update=yes
(the default), since it is not required for queries without an update.
Fixes#8630
If the module directory is not writable/executable to the current user
(most likely because of a sudo to a non-root user), the ssh_wrapper
will be created in the default location for mkstemp() calls. To facilitate
the deletion of these new files, a new mechanism for cleaning up files
created by the module was also added.
Fixes#7375
This simply adds --remote to the git submodule update command.
This means that if a branch is defined in .gitmodules then we should track said branch when updating.
hostnames in the known hosts file are typically stored as Hashed values, calling 'ssh-keyscan' with '-H' changes to output to the Hashed format so that the known_hosts file looks more consistent
There is a subtle bug in how the git module currently works. If the
version you request is a tag name, and you've already got the repo
cloned, and the tag name is a new tag, but refers to the already checked
out working copy, the git module would exit early without change. This
is bad as it means the new tag ref was not fetched and could not be used
in later tasks.
This change will check if the version is a remote tag, and if the tag
doesn't exist locally. If that is true, it'll do a fetch.
The activity could still be seen as not a change, because the working
copy won't be updated, if the new tag refers to the already checked out
copy, but that's not different than before and can be fixed as a more
comprehensive overhaul of tracking change in the git module.
This adds two parameters to the git module:
bare (boolean)
Indicates this is to be a bare repositori
reference (string)
Indicates the path or url to the reference repo.
Check out the "--reference" option in the "git clone"
man page
Added appropriate tests.
The return values from check mode and non-check mode should match in all cases,
except when a SHA-1 hash is used as version, as there is no way to check if it
is a valid hash using `git ls-remote`.
Also, to accomodate this change, the force flag for the reset function has been
removed so that we can do the checking in main.
"UnboundLocalError: local variable 'branch' referenced before assignment" is
raised in git, line 282, in switch_version.
Exception is raised when version is not branch and version checkout fails.
E.g. when version is nonexistant commit.
