[chef] Re: Re: git branch questions

[Daniel DeLeo < >]

Actually, Jenn was on the right track. See the ticket here which has some 
discussion about the use case and usage: 
https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-3734  ;

Jenn, I think you’re probably on too old a version of Chef to use this 
feature. You need at least 11.10. I think you also need to add 
`enable_checkout false` to your git resource to have it use the default 
branch from the upstream.
