Description Matthias Hardt 2021-03-18 18:46:53 UTC 
When using a package with git download method the download step is broken when not using a silent build (make -s).

The reason is the commit date being used for creating an archive of the repository and the output now contains an additional line containing the git command. This obviously cannot be parsed as a date.

Example output:

date: invalid date 'GIT_DIR=<some-dir>/git/.git git log -1 --pretty=format:%ci \n2021-03-12 08:58:14 +0100'
Detected a corrupted git cache.

Matthias, All,

Thanks for your report!

We believe this has been fixed with commit b70ce56651 (support/download: fix git/svn corrupted cache) which was just merged.

Care to check on your side that everythig is back to normal?

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN
