Not all git commits fetched.
Summary
There was a strange error with git_tag from bst_external: https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk/-/jobs/130871279
git_tag is mostly based on git. And I believe the issue is also on git.
I am not sure what happened. But I have found a potential bug that could explain the failure.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a remote repository with just a commit.
- Create an element using that commit.
- On remote repository add a tag 'badtag'
- Build the element.
- Create a new commit not in a branch and override 'badtag' to be that commit. (If you track, it has to be done on another machine/account that does not have cache).
- Build the updated element.
What is the current bug behavior?
The commit is not fetched.
What is the expected correct behavior?
The commit should be fetched.
Relevant logs and/or screenshots
Possible fixes
Add --force in the call to git fetch so that we override the tag.
