#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 cal@…): I'm not sure we really need a mandatory SHA sum. We currently trust git (or any other version control system) to do the right thing automatically when specifying tags (and not using github or setting `fetch.type git`). I'm also not sure how to implement a SHA sum of a complete source tree. As for the version string, try `git describe`, it might generate what you want. This needs to be implemented in browser:trunk/base/src/port1.0/portfetch.tcl; there are a couple of procs named portfetch::${vcs}fetch where this would have to be implemented. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/16373#comment:21> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
