git checkout to a directory. Then use rsync with the -c option to ignore based on checksum, not mod-time to copy the files into the actual locations your puppetmasters serve from. Or is that what you meant you didn't want to do with "I hope it isn't using checksums" ? -- Nigel Kersten nig...@google.com System Administrator Google, Inc. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
