;;; Commentary:
;;;
;;; This is the build-side support code of (guix git-download).  It allows a
;;; Git repository to be cloned and checked out at a specific commit.
;;;
;;; Code:

(define* (git-fetch url commit directory
                    #:key (git-command "git"))
  "Fetch COMMIT from URL into DIRECTORY.  COMMIT must be a valid Git commit
identifier.  Return #t on success, #f otherwise."

  ;; Disable TLS certificate verification.  The hash of the checkout is known
  ;; in advance anyway.
  (setenv "GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY" "true")

  (and (zero? (system* git-command "clone" url directory))
       (with-directory-excursion directory
         (system* git-command "tag" "-l")
         (and (zero? (system* git-command "checkout" commit))
              (begin
                ;; The contents of '.git' vary as a function of the current
                ;; status of the Git repo.  Since we want a fixed output, this
                ;; directory needs to be taken out.
                (delete-file-recursively ".git")
                #t)))))
