[JIRA] [git] (JENKINS-22510) Clean After Checkout Results in Failed to Checkout Revision

[mark.earl.wa...@gmail.com (JIRA)]

Mark Waite edited a comment on JENKINS-22510 Clean After Checkout Results in Failed to Checkout Revision I've been trying to understand the sequence of git operations which arrive at that state, and haven't yet understood them. My attempts have persuaded me that I don't understand submodules. I used my fork of the git-client-plugin for my experiments. Clone the repository git clone git://github.com/MarkEWaite/git-client-plugin cd git-client-plugin ls modules/ntp # reports an error, no content in modules/ntp Checkout tests/getSubmodules git checkout tests/getSubmodules git submodule update --init --recursive ls modules/ntp # Shows there is content in modules/ntp Checkout master again git checkout master # warns there are untracked files in modules directory ls modules/ntp # shows content in modules/ntp is still there git clean -xfd # skips modules/ntp and modules/firewall ls modules/ntp # shows content in modules/ntp is still there git clean -xffd # deletes modules/ntp and modules/firewall ls modules/ntp # no content in modules/ntp Checkout branch containing a conflicting file - works git checkout tests/notSubmodules ls modules/ntp # one file in modules/ntp Checkout tests/getSubmodules again git checkout tests/getSubmodules git submodule update --init --recursive Checkout branch containing a conflicting file - fails git checkout tests/notSubmodules # fails - untracked files would be overwritten Unfortunately, I've not yet found a sequence of "clean" and "checkout" commands which will allow me to switch from tests/getSubmodules to tests/notSubmodules.
