Extend GitInfo with RepoObjectFormat to store object format

Vasilii Iakliushin requested to merge 441653_initialize_repository_with_correct_object_format into main

What does this MR do?

Contributes to gitlab#441653 (closed)

Problem

GitLab-Runner initializes an empty repository in the default SHA1 format. An attempt to fetch data from SHA256 repository fails with an error "mismatched algorithms: client sha1; server sha256".

Solution

  • Parse GitInfo response to fetch and store RepoObjectFormat.
  • Provide RepoObjectFormat value to git init --object-format=
  • Update helper image link to include recent GIT version

Reproduction steps

mkdir sha-mismatch
cd sha-mismatch

# by default it uses SHA1
git init

git remote add https://staging.gitlab.com/pks-gitlab/gitaly-sha256

git fetch
> fatal: mismatched algorithms: client sha1; server sha256
