[Buildbot-devel] trouble with git branch

Hi. I was hoping someone could provide guidance with an issue I've
encountered using buildbot 0.7.8.
I'm trying to checkout a branch (named 'buildbot') from a git
repository. The relevant snippet from master.cfg is:
f2 = factory.BuildFactory()
f2.addStep(Git(repo, "buildbot", mode="update"))
However, the slave always checks out master. I've tried fiddling with
the addStep() command to ensure that I'm passing parameters correctly.
I've also tried a "clobber" build, speculating that buildbot was
confused with the local version on disk. Neither had any impact.
I notice bug 340 [1], but am confused since test_vc.py in 0.7.8 seems
to be able to checkout a branch. Am I missing something obvious?
Should I upgrade to 0.7.9 (the bug fix mentions that the current fix
probably isn't correct anyway)? Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
brian
