Hello all,
Does anyone have any pointers on how to configure a job within Jenkins (and
probably more specifically, the Git plugin), so that the git checkout
corresponds to a point in time. This point in time will be provided as a
parameter to the build.
Googling around, I have seen many references to using either:
$ git checkout 'master@{2012-12-31 23:59'
or
$ git checkout `git rev-list -n 1 --before="2012-12-31 23:59" master`
to checkout a point in time revision, but I can't see a clear way in how to
then configure the jenkins job or the git plugin.
Do I need to add a step like this as an execute shell step? Would I still
use the git plugin to checkout master first? How will it work for
subsequent builds of the same project?
cheers,
Anth
