[Buildbot-devel] Interpolate doesn't work with Source

[Kenny Ho]

Sorry for now mentioning the version.  I am using 0.8.7p1.  When I was debugging the problem, I noticed a Gerrit class that extend Git, is that the one I should be using?  The Repo I am using right now is "buildbot / master / buildbot / steps / source / repo.py"

Regards,
Kenny

I think you're using the old slave-side Repo class, which doesn't
render manifest_branch.

While I was looking, I noticed that the step references
self.build.pathmodule, and fakes that for the tests, but I see nowhere
that that attribute is set in production code, so the step fails in
production.  That's a bit odd!  Pierre, do you recall what that was
about?
