Fix packaging scripts to checkout from sane/stable Git URLs instead of hard-coding the local filesystem

sdboyer, not sure how you're grouping the file system issues, but would you update this when that issue gets opened?

Not blocked on that, actually. For now the scripts are perfectly fine relying on the local filesystem path contained in $repo->root. We won't need to revisit for several months after launch, at least. Untagging accordingly.

http://cgit.drupalcode.org/drupalorg/tree/drupalorg_project/plugins/rele... is the code I'll be updating.

@drumm: if you want to still use git archive, the easiest path is probably to:

• Update the code to use git archive --remote=<URL> ..., where <URL> is a simple Git-protocol URL (ie. one with git://);
• Update the configuration of the git-daemon on util so that it allows the upload-archive service.

There are two alternative paths, but I don't think they are desirable:

• Clone the whole repository (in --shallow) and export the archive from there;
• Move the repositories to NFS and access them directly from jenkins1

I think I may go with a variation on

Clone the whole repository (in --shallow) and export the archive from there;

There are some more Git operations that happen for branch packaging in computeRebuildVersion(). My testing shows that works with a --depth 0 clone.

(I'm also not eager to change the Git daemon config.)

Actually, --depth 1 is what I would want for a shallow clone, and it doesn't help computeRebuildVersion(). That code looks like it needs a full clone locally, or at least the history back to the most recent tag on the branch. We will need to do a full clone anyway.

Now deployed.
