Git is just weird (there). > 1- Have somewhere on the web interface, some button to ask for a full > re-clone of the package. I'm hesitant to add this without auth. What I'd like to have myself is a way for people to say "the repository has changed, please look at $otherurl until the next upload". Requesting a re-clone would be a similar action. I might look into adding auth support via dacs, though that would take some time unless someone else gets onto it. > 2- Every now and then (every week?) do a full reclone Nak. > 3- If qa.debian.org can have ssh access to Alioth, then something like > this would do: > ssh git.debian.org 'cd /git/openstack/nova.git && git branch | grep \\*' I'm specifically not shortcutting http access via ssh because I want to trap errors like "no git update-server-info was run". Now, just fetching the HEAD info via ssh would work, but that'd be a gross hack.

I don't > think I'm good enough in perl to do it in a non-too-hackish way. Well it is actually a shell script disguised as Perl, so that wouldn't matter much ;) I'll get onto it over the next days.
