This seems to have fallen on the floor... Original send date: Thu, 1 Jun 2017 19:43:43 +1000 Avoid going splat if --depth is not given Commit 6b4a9c5 indroduced the --depth parameter to limit the commit history pulled by when cloning, giving a nice speedup. But in the process it broke running without the --depth parameter. The first invocation of './build --main-git' works fine, but the second falls over like so: fatal: No such remote or remote group: media_tree/master Can't update from the upstream tree at ./build line 430. The fix is to check whether that remote has been defined before trying to update from it.
