cerbero: Never use cached cerbero git repo (!376) · Merge requests · GStreamer / gst-ci

Merged Nirbheek Chauhan requested to merge nirbheek/gst-ci:always-cleanup-cerbero-gitdir into master Nov 12, 2020

Sometimes the git repo cached on the docker image gets corrupted on Windows, in which case there is no way to clean things and resolve that error. For example: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/bilboed/gst-plugins-bad/-/jobs/5517037

++ cp -a C:/cerbero/.git .

Always delete the cached git repo and copy a pristine copy from the image. This will also avoid accumulation of garbage in the git repo.
