The Racket repository
![]() When a clone-linked package is updated, a temporary extra clone is created to checkout the target commit for dependency and conflict checking. The current strategy for cloning a repository doesn't work for some Git versions. The problem is that the target commit is unlikely to be reachable from any current branch or tag, and so it might not get carried along in the clone (depending on the Git version). Originally, a `git fetch <commit>` compensated for that problem, but fetching a particular commit doesn't work for all Git versions, either. The new strategy is to clone with `--shared`, which ensures that just-fetched commits are all available in the temporary clone (and it also avoids a little unnecessary copying work). |
