[jira] [Updated] (BIGTOP-1671) Fix handling symlinks when cloning git repos

["Peter Slawski (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1671?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Peter Slawski updated BIGTOP-1671:
----------------------------------
    Attachment: BIGTOP-1671.1.patch

The attached patch upgrades the version of Grgit so that Grgit's dependency, Jgit, is a newer version that supports native symbolic links. It also adds the the org.eclipse.jgit.java7 jar/bundle to the classpath. This is required for Jgit to handle symbolic links. This change has a side effect of now requiring Java 7 to be used in order to clone git repositories.

> Symlinks are not supported when cloning Git repositories via Gradle for development purposes.
> For example, in bigtop.mk when the following are set in the hue section, the symlink in the cloned repository are not created properly. Thus, building hue will fail

> For cloning git repositories, Gradle uses Grgit. The version used does use a version of Jgit that supports native symlinks when cloning a Git repository.
