@xurror @ptuomola @awasum check this out.. do you have any better ideas? Merge?

[xurror]

This looks good to me

[vorburger]

@awasum Is this OK for you too?

[vorburger]

@ptuomola no objections to this? See linked JIRA. If @awasum or @xurror merge this ASAP, then I'll send an email to the dev list to announce the auto-updating of fineract.dev, which finally fully works end2end, since yesterday! I'd love this to be merged before I announce, because this change helps to "see" what's actually running on Fineract.dev.

[ptuomola]

Looks good - except the previous comment that copying .git slows things down, and that is why it was excluded. Is that no longer the case - ie do we not end up with the same issue now that we are again including .git? It's basically copying the entire repository history, right?

[awasum]

Can we get the CI system to copy just the latest revision of the history? Will that help?
Like:
git clone -–depth [depth] [remote-url]

[awasum]

Maybe we do this in a follow up PR? Or even rethink the issue of adding latest git revision in /actuator/info... IS there a better way?

[awasum]

I will merge this and someone can cycle back to this in the near future.

https://demo.fineract.dev/fineract-provider/actuator/info - yay!! (This was fully automated.)

@ptuomola @awasum see my comments in FINERACT-983 and FINERACT-911 re. your points.
