Thank you! I agree that setting it to zero is an indication that we need a couple of commits for tests to work. This reminds me of another glaring issue of GitPython: tests are not isolated and require a certain initial state that affects ones own work-environment. In practice, that's not an issue most of the time, but it's an issue nonetheless. In gitoxide
tests are fully isolated and it's as easy as writing a bash script with git
commands to setup a new fixture. Maybe one day, GitPython will have isolated/sandboxed tests as well.
It appears the intent of specifying a
fetch-depth
of1000
is that 1000 is greater enough than the current number of commits in the repository that it will fetch the whole branch history, now and for some time into the future.Assuming that is the case, I recommend doing a full fetch instead, which this PR changes it to do. Setting the
fetch-depth
to a positive value fetches that many commits back (and the default value is 1), but setting it to 0 fetches all commits, as in a normal deep (full) fetch.
