Did you intend to checkout 'refs/heads/develop' which can not be resolved as commit?

:/tmp/resourcemanager$ echo $COMMIT_ID

af5c7ff84dd852cf1c0b5ca60ea92546a20dda01 refs/heads/develop

:/tmp/resourcemanager$ git checkout -b deploy `echo $COMMIT_ID | cut -d' ' -f1`

Switched to a new branch 'deploy'

:/tmp/resourcemanager$

Another interesting thing is that if I list branched on this manually cloned repo, here’s what I get:

:/tmp/resourcemanager$ git branch -a

* deploy

  master

  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master

  remotes/origin/develop

  remotes/origin/master

On the one that was cloned by Chef, on the other hand:

:/opt/apps/resourcemanager/shared/cached-copy$ git branch -a

* master

  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master

  remotes/origin/master

The develop branch is not present. My only guess is that Chef’s way of cloning does not clone the whole thing, and for some reason leaves the branch I need out.

The only options chef passes to git clone are `-o REMOTE` if remote is not set to "origin" (default) and `--depth DEPTH` if you specified a clone depth. Are you setting `shallow_clone true`? Does it work if you explicitly pass `shallow_clone false` ?
