Modules using Git cannot update themselves on vmgump

[Konstantin Kolinko <kn...@gmail.com>]

Hi!

There are totally 8 modules that use Git as their repository type.

As of now on vmgump all of them fail to update their sources and thus
are building from stale content. The error
in all cases is the following:
[[[
Command Line

git pull --quiet git://github.com/KentBeck/junit

Output

You asked to pull from the remote 'git://github.com/KentBeck/junit',
but did not specify
a branch. Because this is not the default configured remote
for your current branch, you must specify a branch on the command line.
]]]

Here are repository references from all those modules:

1 <git repository="github" dir="/kohsuke/args4j.git"/>
2 <git repository="github" dir="/belaban/JGroups.git"/>
3 <git repository="jline"/>
4 <git repository="github" dir="/KentBeck/junit"/>
5 <git repository="github" dir="/kohsuke/msv.git"/>
6 <git repository="github" dir="/nant/nant.git"/>
7 <git repository="github" dir="/ceki/slf4j.git"/>
8 <git repository="xz-java"/>

Here are links to their update work results on vmgump:

1 http://vmgump.apache.org/gump/public/args4j/gump_work/update_args4j.html
2 http://vmgump.apache.org/gump/public/jgroups/gump_work/update_jgroups.html
3 http://vmgump.apache.org/gump/public/jline/gump_work/update_jline.html
4 http://vmgump.apache.org/gump/public/junit/gump_work/update_junit.html
5 http://vmgump.apache.org/gump/public/msv/gump_work/update_msv.html
6 http://vmgump.apache.org/gump/public/nant/gump_work/update_nant.html
7 http://vmgump.apache.org/gump/public/slf4j/gump_work/update_slf4j.html
8 http://vmgump.apache.org/gump/public/xz-java/gump_work/update_xz-java.html

This issue is specific to vmgump server. The two other servers do not
have this issue.
Here are links for junit module:
4 http://gump.zones.apache.org/gump/public/junit/gump_work/update_junit.html
4 http://adam.apache.org/gump/junit/gump_work/update_junit.html


Looking at gump_work/check_git.html pages all servers use different
versions of git.
vmgump:  git version 1.7.0.4
gump.zones: git version 1.7.6
adam: git version 1.7.9

So vmgump uses the oldest one.

This is partly done by now, at least the working copies on vmgump can
now be updated as well.

The code needs an additional tweak so a working copy validates it is on
the correct branch, I hope to add it later this week.

I've been fighting this from time to time with little success (the URL
speficied *is* the default configured remote).  It might be a good idea
to allow users to configure a branch other than "master", so I'm going
to add a "branch" attribute which defaults to "master" and add this to
the command line.  This seems to work on vmgump as well as the FreeBSD
jail.  This may take a few days.
