To elaborate on my reply: I do indeed interact with the repository after it's cloned (as per my previous email).
With regards to implementation, I have implemented it such that the git remote name is only involved if git is chosen as the source of choice, in much the same manner as the git_tag implementation. My implementation makes the git remote name completely optional and defaults to "origin".

I am struggling to think of a use case for this, seeing as you never directly interact with the cloned repository. I don't even think it's safe to assume that a git repository is involved at all, for all you know it could be changed to just download the code and never even involve git. (Maybe it is guaranteed somewhere but I don't see such a guarantee in the documentation) On Fri, Jan 15, 2016 at 10:03 AM, Adam Rankin <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello all, > > > > I am reading through the ExternalProject source for 3.2 at the moment > (if updating to 3.4 is the answer, great!) and trying to determine if > there is support for the –o option when using a git repository. > > > > Has anyone accomplished this?
