github clone during app creation is not reliable #40
Description
When using the API to create an app, if the GitHub repository is very new (eg. Created by the same process that calls the API) it seems there is a timing issue which causes the HEAD branch not to be found.
The creation fails with the API returning:
Response code 400
{
"message": "Could not clone git repository: Remote branch 'HEAD' not found in upstream origin",
"gitUrl": "(SSH URL of new repo)"
}
The failure would appear to occur in AppManager.java in the create(..) method at the point of the Git.cloneRepository()
It would be useful to have the option to wait/retry the clone.
Unfortunately it is unlikely a reliable test case could be created for recreation of the issue.
