Bug 486162 – git-r3 eclass fails to checkout submoduled repository

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Timo Rothenpieler 2013-09-27 07:23:56 UTC]

I tried updating the gst-plugins-vaapi git ebuild to git-r3, as it relies on submodules which are quite broken in git-2.
When it tries to checkout the first submodule, it fails to create the branch.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for the report. I will try to reproduce this in a few minutes and then try to find out what's wrong :).

Ok, this happens because the commit is not on 'master', and fetch seems to focus on that branch only. I will need to think how to solve this, to be honest...

I've just committed a fix. It should appear on the mirrors after a few hours, and the everything should start to work.
