Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a new git repository (I'm using Bitbucket)
2) Create a file called 'test1.txt', and push it to the repo.
3) Create a class to pull the repo. I'm using ssh cert authentication, but
I'm not sure that matters
class gitrepo {
vcsrepo { '/tmp/git/puppet-test':
ensure => latest,
provider => git,
source => "[email protected]:user/puppet-test.git",
revision => 'master',
}
}
4) Run 'puppet agent --test' to pull the repo down
5) Add another file to the repo, say 'test2.txt' and push the changes to git
6) Run 'puppet agent --test' again to pull the latest changes.
Any changes to existing files don't seem to cause the problem, only new
files.
