Issue installing master branch -- failure to fetch treesitter for hare from sr.ht causes build failure

[collin-kemper]

Summary

I get what appears to be an issue fetching the tree sitter grammar for hare when trying to install from source on Ubuntu 20.04. The specific error that I get is:

Failure 1/1: hare Git command failed.
  Stdout: 
  Stderr: error: Server does not allow request for unadvertised object bc26a6a949f2e0d98b7bfc437d459b250900a165

It's fixed when I remove the hare section from the languages.toml file.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this: 1. `cargo install --path helix-term --locked` On a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 I expected this to happen: Installation success Instead, this happened: ``` error: failed to run custom build command for `helix-term v0.6.0` Caused by: process didn't exit successfully: `helix/target/release/build/helix-term-dc155c626a563b6d/build-script-build` (exit status: 101) --- stdout Fetching 148

Update: the issue appears to be that sourcehut doesn't allow you to fetch commit ids, and the treesitter build system relies on fetching commit ids to minimize download size. The only apparent solution would be to fallback to cloning the whole repository and locally checking out a given branch if the fetch fails.

[collin-kemper]

That or removing support for hare, or skipping treesitter grammars on failure to fetch them.

[the-mikedavis]

What's your git version?

[pascalkuthe]

I can't reproduce locally so I also think it might be related to your git install. Ubuntu 20.04 is pretty ancient so the git version might be very outdated

[collin-kemper]

My git version is 2.25.1 -- so quite old. That's probably the issue.

[lucblassel]

I have the same issue with git version 2.20.1, which I cannot update on a remote server

[the-mikedavis]

You can limit the set of grammars to exclude hare with use-grammars in languages.toml: https://docs.helix-editor.com/master/languages.html#choosing-grammars

[lanceschi]

Like @collin-kemper, I had the same problem. I can confirm that currently ubuntu:20.04 offers git v2.25.1. I fixed the issue by using git v2.40.1, available from the official git ppa.

Install with one line (after you've purged previous versions of git):

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:git-core/ppa && sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y git

For more details, you can check out the full Dockerfile I'm keeping in this repo for older GLIB compatibility.

[jakubrpawlowski]

I'm running into same issue on Debian Bookworm git version 2.39.2

[jakubrpawlowski]

Took an hour break and now it works. No changes.
