(bumped from Tuesday's meeting)

Discuss ansible/ansible-modules-core#3256 What should be done about the name parameter in the cron module. Requested by @Leibniz137 It seems like name probably should be required and Ansible only manage cron jobs that have the name/comment string. However currently the code doesn't require the name and it's unclear why that changed.

I'd like to discuss whether it makes sense to merge ansible/ansible-modules-core#901 (was briefly merged and then reverted last weekend).

[robinro]

I have two topics to discuss:

1. To review/merge: In 2.2 currently git with depth but without version specified does not update repos. This is the documentation-example usage case for ansible-pull
   Fix: Fix git shallow update ansible-modules-core#3794
   Test: Add git shallow fetch test ansible#16055

   The git module is a bit of a mess and there are still some holes in the support of depth, see also git - in Ansible 2.1 switching a shallow clone from tag to branch fails ansible-modules-core#3817 (not yet fixed). Maybe one can do a git refactor sprint? I'd be happy to take part if time allows, but am pretty busy the next weeks/months.

2. To discuss: Add check_mode: yes/no to tasks. Replaces always_run (then check_mode: no, see also https://github.com/ansible/proposals/blob/master/rename_always_run.md by @resmo) and introduces check_mode: yes to run a single task in check mode even if this is not requested on the command line.
   PR: add check_mode option for tasks ansible#16056
   Issue: Allow running task or play in check_mode from playbook ansible#12498
   Historical Discussion: Implement a per-task check_mode setting ansible#7439

I'd like to touch base on ansible/ansible#11810 (multiple interpreter support): I would like to make sure that there is no pending issue left that prevents merging it.
