<rekado>for R packages with a git default branch “main” I still cannot run the importer successfully

<rekado>e.g. ./pre-inst-env guix import cran -a git -r https://github.com/haizi-zh/bedtorch/

<rekado>Git error: reference 'refs/remotes/origin/HEAD' not found

<civodul>rekado: without '-r' it works for me

<civodul>with -r as well actually

<rekado>huh

<civodul>that's not ./pre-inst-env, though i don't think that should make a difference?

<civodul>yeah no difference

<civodul>weird

<rekado>I patch canonical-ref in update-cached-checkout in (guix git) to replace the default (symref . "refs/remotes/origin/HEAD") with (branch . "origin/main")

<rekado>then it works for me

<civodul>ok

<civodul>could you check with a clean cache if the problem occurs?

<civodul>s/clean/empty/ :-)

<rekado>empty cache?

<rekado>which cache…?

<civodul>mv ~/.cache/guix/checkouts{,.bak}

<rekado>ok

<rekado>huh, works indeed

<rekado>¯\_(ツ)_/¯

<rekado>and here I thought we have a bug…

<rekado>thanks!

<civodul>would be good to see what was missing from the cached checkout

<civodul>like what's in refs/remotes/origin

<rekado>I decided to make weipub a little more generic. Let it act as a minimal activitypub server with fully functional inbox and output.

<civodul>oh, fun!

<civodul>so single inbox and outbox?

<rekado>as many as there are registered accounts

<rekado>the implementation overhead is the same

<rekado>but I’ll keep features to a minimum

<civodul>famous last words ;-)

<rekado>:)

<rekado>here’s the diff from the two checkouts: https://elephly.net/paste/1671702811.diff.html

<rekado>when the cache existed it performed a reset…?

<rekado>with a fresh cache it cloned and included the default branch config…?

<civodul>the important difference if FETCH_HEAD i guess?

<civodul>s/if/is/

<civodul>was the previous checkout done long ago?

<rekado>it is possible that I ran the importer once many months ago; but I only just revisited the package and ran it minutes before reporting the error here.

<civodul>commit cb41c15827a2e910aa56fb5d1917ba8a085c95c7 is from Apr. 2021
