Should we just drop the git
package on Windows altogether?
It's unfortunate we don't have a better story for git
on Windows
Seeing a +1 went ahead and made a PR ( https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-smithy-feedstock/pull/291 ) to drop git on Windows
Please let me know what you think
Happy to discuss other options as well
Aside from losing tags and branch heads in places like
git log
(see discussion post-merge in #277), I'm now running into another error:There's a missing period before "ci_support"; no idea though where the processing goes wrong.
Downgrading smithy to the
_0
build of smithy 3.36.0 didn't fix things (neither the error, nor the tag visibility), but that didn't get rid of the new m2-* packages that_1
had dragged in (andconda install --revision <X>
didn't resolve for 15min, so I gave up). However, after recreating the environment from scratch, the rerender works again. So it's the mere presence of some of the following libs that breaks things.Long-term, I'd like to have a
__git
package (not necessarily virtual, just something that tells the resolver it's already available locally), which allows me not to drag in the huge git updates all the time.
