I am curious why the branch name is important.

 

The .gitmodules file (https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/.gitmodules) content does not specify a branch name

 

[submodule "UnitTestFrameworkPkg/Library/CmockaLib/cmocka"]

                path = UnitTestFrameworkPkg/Library/CmockaLib/cmocka

                url = https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-cmocka.git

 

The submodule link in edk2 repo is a sha hash with no branch name.

 

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/tree/master/UnitTestFrameworkPkg/Library/CmockaLib

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

Subject: [edk2-devel] Change edk2-cmocka default branch on GitHub?

 

Hi y'all, I'm following some new internal process for mirroring open source projects and they're asking for the edk2-cmocka repo on GitHub to change its default branch from repo-sync to master. Will that break things, or is that a reasonable request? I can't really offer this change as a PR since it's a setting and not code.
