Anyhow, we have a few ways to solve this issue. I would say that as long as we reference trees whose shas are reachable from the branches in the remote git, then we should be fine. From a manifest perspective, we like to sync a tip branch, once the build is completed the sha will be the tip of that tip branch, as long as that sha sticks around in another branch in the repo everything should work.
Andy's question earlier in this threads was whether we had to use branches here. It seems you are saying that we are going to use branches?
We've had two instances of this problem for all the builds we've ever done. One instance was trying to sync u-boot and the other was trying to sync the TI LT kernel. John Rigby suggested the branch approach and it seems to have worked, so I'd like to go with that.
Thanks,
