[Buildbot-devel] git branch support

[Chad Metcalf]

Thanks in advance for any help. I checked trac tickets and the mailing  
list archives. This seems to be a similar/same issue as: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.buildbot.devel/3622/match=git

I'm having a hard time understanding how to setup my git branches in  
Buildbot.

Our repo looks something like this:

master
origin/devel
origin/release-1_0

Developers clone the repo and track the branches by running

git checkout -b devel origin/devel
git checkout -b release-1_0 origin/release-1_0

When the notifications come in from the git commit hook, I see master,  
devel, release-1_0. But when I use AnyBranchScheduler

config['schedulers'].append(AnyBranchScheduler(name="quick_firmware",
                                  branches=['master', 'devel'],
                                  treeStableTimer=2*60,
                                  fileIsImportant=firmwareChange,
                                  builderNames=["firmware_compile"]))

It works for the master but doesn't actually checkout the branch.

argv: ['git', 'fetch', 'git at git.server.com:repo.git', 'devel']

I would have expected to use a similar work flow to clone, co -b  
branch origin/branch, etc. I'm guessing things are different when you  
use git init as the entry point. What am I missing?

Thanks again for all your help,
Chad
