I have had a problem with this in the past, which is why I was
suggesting this route. I had an uncommitted file on my local machine
that wasn't in master. I'd not added it with commit -a or whatever,
and so my build was OK but patchy-staging fell over. I wanted to
avoid the possibility.
git clone /my/repository /tmp/checkingplace
cd /tmp/checkingplace
test test test
cd ~
rm -rf /tmp/checkingplace
Whilst I always appreciate yours and Graham's help, this has been an
absolute masterclass in "answering a question I didn't ask". I wasn't
looking to create an alternative clone, since I already have one in my
alternative user which I had been using for patchy. I feel I do need to
understand git better (as you know) and I thought that using a remote branch
to test my LSR update would be a great example of this. I also need to
learn how to revert, and ditto applies.
As a BTW - does cloning as above fetch the whole repo, or just recreate it
locally?
