[Buildbot-devel] Setting up buildbot with Git. Failed 'git-fetch'

[Axel Hecht]

It seems to me from looking at the srouce that it should actually reset to
FETCH_HEAD in 0.7.7 and beyond,
http://github.com/djmitche/buildbot/commit/bc53d760b75d89299c879e08f65c4fd99ad5506e#diff-2.
Which works perfectly fine for me locally.

The only exception would be if the given revision in your build was
explicitly HEAD, though I don't know how that would happen.
