#934: Cannot check out ET release
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  eschnett       |       Owner:  eric9
     Type:  defect         |      Status:  new  
 Priority:  blocker        |   Milestone:       
Component:  GetComponents  |     Version:       
 Keywords:                 |  
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 When I try to check out the release branch of the ET, GetComponents fails
 for all git repositories, and only for these. It appears that these
 repositories are checked out, but are on their master branch, and
 GetComponents cannot switch to the release branch. These repositories are
 then renamed, e.g. to "CRL.branch.failed".

 The error messages (taken from crl.log) are:
 {{{
 May 29 11:05:08 2012:   Could not checkout EinsteinExact/doc, unable to
 switch to branch ET_2012_05. Any existing symlinks to EinsteinExact/doc

 }}}

 This is on Mac OSX. I am using git version 1.7.10.2. I obtain
 GetComponents via
 {{{
 wget --no-check-certificate
 https://github.com/gridaphobe/CRL/raw/ET_2012_05/GetComponents
 }}}
 and run it as
 {{{
 ./GetComponents -a
 http://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/manifest/branches/ET_2012_05/einsteintoolkit.th
 }}}
