#16373: svn git and hg fetch type should maintain a persistent working copy ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: base | Version: 1.7.0 Resolution: | Keywords: performance fetch Port: | ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by mojca@…): OK, it could be a mandatory SHA sum and an optional tag (or maybe this needs a bit of rethinking). One thing that I would also like to see supported out of the box (but is otherwise completely independent and also outside of scope of this ticket) is creating a version string like `3.14-beta-20140314-{short_SHA}`. I mean: provided a full SHA string, I would like to be able to extract both date (just for "sorting" the increasing version) and a shortened version of the SHA sum. But keeping a copy on MacPorts mirrors is definitely a lower priority than getting this functionality to work in the first place. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/16373#comment:19> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
