Description

The git_strategy CI/CD setting currently doesn't work with the Kubernetes executor. This was discussed internally(internal-only link) and we determined that it's probably possible with a shared volume.

Additional Notes:

• The Kubernetes executor does not store the old builds/repo for reuse with the next build in the builds/ folde
• This leads into having to do a git clone for every job instead of doing a git fetch after the first build, which can create unnecessary load when you have large repositories.

I'm proposing that we should support git_strategy with the Kubernetes executor.

Proposal (revised Jan 10, 2020)

• Create a volume for the build directory which is mounted every time, just like it's done in the Docker executor. Related discussion here.

• With the volumes to the build directory now available the git_strategy CI/CD setting should work automatically.
