Thanks, that seems to have fixed it (after blowing away the agent's

workspaces again).

No idea why it succeeded on MacOS before that, the git version there is

a bit older than the one on the RHEL-7 (linux-64) build agent.

Should we be protecting our submodule master branches from force-pushes?

GitHub can do that now IIRC. A discussion topic for Wednesday I think...

APS Jenkins seems to be unable to clone the epics-base repo (I'm not

sure why that just succeeded on macOS, which is running exactly the

same commands as the Linux agents) due to something in the .ci

submodule.

It looks like there was a force push to 'master' in ci-scripts
some time on or after the 24th.  ("origin/master" in my checkout
was still pointing to the g8a2666a rev.)

So as not to have a dangling submodule reference in the Base history
I have created a tag "v3.3.0-10-g8a2666a" to keep that rev. reachable.

hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Command "git submodule update .ci"

returned status code 1:

stdout: Cloning into '.ci'...

stderr: fatal: reference is not a tree:

8a2666a9deeb6c618bcc73ba80f1a83a878c7a84

Unable to checkout '8a2666a9deeb6c618bcc73ba80f1a83a878c7a84' in

submodule path '.ci'

I'm guessing we may just need to commit a 'git add .ci; git commit'

to the 7.0 branch to fix that but I'm not certain, can someone

explain what happened to the ci submodule?
