Hi
on install_github() I have the ref= argument to specify the commit, tag, branchname to install, but I could not find a simmilar argument in install_git. Did I just miss it, or is there a reason why it is not added yet?
I think it would be quite handy to have this argument for install_git as well - In my case, I am putting a simulation model in a package. Wit the ref argument, I could easily go back to a simulation which I have used previously.
Thanks,
Rainer

Hi Rainer,
install_git was a contributed function, so I guess a ref argument just
slipped through the gaps. I don't have any objections to including it,
but it looks like a non-trivial change
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3489173) so it will need some
testing. Feel free to file as an issue on github.

OK - I'll do so (on Monday),

It's possible to do a shallow clone of a branch, with something like this:
git clone -b mybranch git://github.com/hadley/devtools.git --depth 1
But this seems to work only with branches; it doesn't seem to work with other refs (SHAs and tags).

Tags seem important as well, since it's common practice with git to tag releases. (Branches and tags are similar in that they're pointers to specific commits; the main difference is that branch pointers move when more commits are made, while tags don't.)
If there's no way to shallow-clone at a particular tag in git, then another possibility is to clone the entire git repository and then check out the tag. This could be very inefficient for repos with a long history, however.

I would say that branch is the most important one, as it makes sense to branch for each release / version. This would be a good start, although then the argument should not be called ref but rather branch.Cheers,Rainer

Actually, it looks like I was wrong -- it does appear possible to clone a specific tag with git:
git clone -b "devtools-1.1" git://github.com/hadley/devtools.git --depth 1
So even if it's not possible to clone arbitrary commits, tags and branches are good enough for most uses.

Perfect - that would be exactly the main purpose of this function.
