[jira] [Updated] (CB-4622) Allow git URLs to contain tags / hashes

["Andrew Grieve (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4622?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andrew Grieve updated CB-4622:
------------------------------

    Description: 
plugman.fetch allows you to pass in a git ref to checkout after fetching. It's not currently exposed by the command-line though (only exposed through CLI)

Instead of having this as a separate argument to the fetch function, we should build it into the URL.

NPM (refer to https://npmjs.org/doc/install.html): uses <protocol>://[<user>@]<hostname><separator><path>[#<commit-ish>]

We also need to specify a sub-directory, so let's use:

<protocol>://[<user>@]<hostname><separator><path>[#<commit-ish>][:subdir]

subdir does *not* start with a /.


Our 3.0 instruction could then look like:
"Install via plugman install http://.../cordova-plugin-geolocation.git#stable"

plugman.fetch allows you to pass in a git ref to checkout after fetching. It's not currently exposed by the command-line though (only exposed through CLI)

Instead of having this as a separate argument to the fetch function, we should build it into the URL.

We should follow the format used by NPM:

<protocol>://[<user>@]<hostname><separator><path>[#<commit-ish>]

(refer to https://npmjs.org/doc/install.html)

That way our 3.0 instruction could be:
"Install via plugman install http://.../cordova-plugin-geolocation.git#stable"
