clever-tools nodegit dep instability

[FGRibreau]

Hello !

Context

I have jobs that auto-deploy on Clevercloud everyday, I don't update these autonomous projects however sometimes clever-tools setup fail and I have to maintain it. Here is the last issue.

Problem
Clever-tools nodegit dependency has always been a PITA, this week new error is:

pkg/prelude/bootstrap.js:1155
      throw error;
      ^

Error: libcurl-gnutls.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    at Object.Module._extensions..node (module.js:602:18)

It's not the first time that I have to do manual work to let clever-tools work, even if I did not change anything else.

Sadly only "latest" clever-tool version is downloadable, so I was not able to rollback to a previous safe build and thus decided to definitely rollback to the less-cute git remote add & git push approach. At least it's stable and it just works.

Hey @FGRibreau, we're very close to completely remove nodegit and replace it with a full JS alternative.

I think it would solve your problem, WDYT?

Can't. Wait. ! 🎉

@hsablonniere a little update : same error blocked another deployment on another project, so I'm moving back this project to simple git client push (thus loosing the fancy and really useful deployment logs) -__-

@FGRibreau I just merged the new Jenkins build branch on master!!!

This means you'll have all the instructions to install the new beta in your CI jobs.

We're still waiting for submodules to be supported in isomorphic-git for a stable release but if you don't have any submodules in your project, please try the beta and give us feedbacks.

@hsablonniere a.w.e.s.o.m.e! Will do!
