#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 will be broken May 29 11:08:05 2012: Could not checkout KrancNumericalTools/GenericFD, unable to switch to branch ET_2012_05.

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.... }}}
