[JIRA] [git] (JENKINS-23875) Ability to pass reference repo recursively

Tue, 19 Aug 2014 07:22:12 -0700

It isn’t the parent repository that is being passed. Rather it is a bare repo that has commits from the parent repository, as well as all the submodules.

The basic procedure for adding commits from another repo to an existing bare repo (may be more direct ways, but this works):

# Create a temporary directory.
    TEMPDIR=`mktemp -d -t git-cache-XXXXX`

    trap "rm -Rf $TEMPDIR" exit

    # First clone the directory separately.
    git clone --bare $SOURCE_BASE_URL/$PROJECT.git $TEMPDIR

    # Then fetch from the temporary dir into our main repo.
    git remote add $PROJECT $TEMPDIR/
    git fetch $PROJECT --tags

    # Then change the remote URL and fetch normally.
    git remote set-url $PROJECT $SOURCE_BASE_URL/$PROJECT.git
    git fetch $PROJECT --tags
