The WMCS CI instances have git repositories cloned in and serving as mirrors. The repositories are supposedly updated on a daily basis:
modules/profile/manifests/ci/gitcache.pp
$minute = fqdn_rand(60) systemd::timer::job { 'ci-gitcache-refresh': ensure => present, description => 'Regular job to update the CI git cache', user => 'root', command => '/usr/bin/find /srv/git -type d -name \'*.git\' -exec git -C {} fetch origin --prune --prune-tags --force \;', interval => {'start' => 'OnCalendar', 'interval' => "*-*-* 3:${minute}:00"}, }
The repositories HEAD branch point to commits from January 30 / 31st. That matches 7291ed4dd1228043a8c7182884f95c0ef7801aa5 which was made for T252310 / T356247 which changed the command:
- git fetch origin --prune '+refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*' + git fetch origin --prune --prune-tags --force
The refspec for heads got removed in order to fetch tags as well, assuming the default was to fetch both, but that is apparently not the case.
Trying on integration-agent-docker-1047.integration.eqiad1.wikimedia.cloud it does not fetch anything:
$ sudo git -C /srv/git/mediawiki/core.git fetch --prune --prune-tags --force $
With --verbose it apparently only fetches tags.
The instances have git 2.34.1.
I can't reproduce locally with 2.39.5.
