Inconsistent results for same user/org about githubcloner HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi @danielhoherd

As discussed on #9, the issue is occuring because of git. It's not githubcloner related, probably the best fix it to slow down cloning to 1 thread at github cloner + to report the issue to git devs.

I think this is happening because of the gitpython module. Do you have any thoughts why it could be happening?

I am not sure why yet, but I am looking into it. I have a fork/branch here with some extra logging where I am investigating: https://github.com/danielhoherd/GithubCloner/tree/logging

Run it with export LOGLEVEL=DEBUG ; githubcloner.py

It looks like the problems are happening in git. I don't know if the root cause is in git or in the threading. For some unknown reason I cannot get GIT_PYTHON_TRACE to work, but I suspect it's because of threading.

I believe the same, maybe let's try to check it via a separate process on each thread?

I am testing the issue again, I will let you know the results.

Closing issue because the above answer is sufficient.
