git plugin does not pull in updates in subtrees

    • I'm using ec2 machines running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The master is a micro. Slaves are various sizes specific for jobs.

      The git plugin is not updating the sourcecode. Each project is a collection of subtrees as described in http://git-scm.com/book/ch6-7.html .

      The first build (on a clean ec2 machine) works great. It gets all the right code. Subsequent builds do not pick up any changes in subtrees. (I haven't yet tried changing something in the top-level directory.)

      I'm currently working around the problem with the "Wipe out workspace before build" but the repositories are pretty big and the pipe between them and EC2 doesn't have a lot of bandwidth. The 3-10 minute delay is a bit painful.

      I wonder if the problem has something to do with how the tool does its update. I'd expect a git pull, which does the right thing on my workstation.
