            Bug ID: 747514
           Summary: cerbero: Fix recipe status reset for git repositories
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git master
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: cerbero
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: robert.swain at gmail.com
        QA Contact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

Tests show that cerbero seems to reset the status of a recipe based, partially,
upon what is fetched from a git repository rather than the HEAD commit hash.

This means that recipe build states get reset unnecessarily when the recipe
points to a specific commit and the branch to which that commit belongs is
updated. It also means that recipe build states are not updated if the specific
commit pointed to is changed within that which is fetched.

Also, I changed the commit hash pointed to by a recipe and I expected that
changing the recipe would trigger a rebuild (after running fetch-package
--reset-rdeps --full-reset <package>) but it did not. It had even changed the
commit that was checked out.
