[Buildbot-devel] git build step doesn't properly handle renamed files?

[David Weidenkopf]

One option is to have the git build step use clobber mode which will rebuild the repo every time. Or add a ShellCommand to run your git clean.

Hey all ~

I've got my BuildBot setup up and running, and for the most part it's great.  It's pretty simple; just a source code grab and a "make test" really.

The problem is that any time a file is renamed (or removed?) from the repository, the Git build step doesn't handle things quite right.  The removed file is still there in the working copies BuildBot produces.

I believe that having the Git build step perform a `git clean -f` will fix this, but I'm about as much of a Git guru as I am a BuildBot guru :-P
