Error: Unable to update checked out version: exit status 128

[jkroepke]

Hi,

helm is using this go library for installing plugins.

I got an error today, if there is a branch name which has the same name as a local file:

% helm plugin install "https://github.com/jkroepke/helm-secrets" --version "dockerfile"
Error: Unable to update checked out version: exit status 128
% ls Dockerfile
Dockerfile
% git checkout dockerfile
fatal: 'dockerfile' could be both a local file and a tracking branch.
Please use -- (and optionally --no-guess) to disambiguate

To fix this, add 2 hypen at the end of the command, for example:

% git checkout dockerfile --
branch 'dockerfile' set up to track 'origin/dockerfile'.
Switched to a new branch 'dockerfile'

See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25322335/git-change-branch-when-file-of-same-name-is-present

Code, needs to be changed:

vcs/git.go

Line 161 in 7d3c358

out, err := s.RunFromDir("git", "checkout", version)
