    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12993?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12732135#comment-12732135 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-12993:
------------------------------------

checkout.sh doesn't recover well from a failure:
{code}
$ ./checkout.sh -n -u nickboldt jbpm
Cloning into /home/nboldt/tru/jbosstools-jbpm...
remote: Counting objects: 11754, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3547/3547), done.
fatal: read error: Connection reset by peer
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed
./checkout.sh: line 137: cd: /home/nboldt/tru/jbosstools-jbpm: No such file or directory
fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount parent )
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).
/home/nboldt/tru/jbosstools-jbpm not found
{code}

Maybe if EOF is encountered or after clone the dir doesn't exist, the script should loop back and try again?

> nick have done some work on the checkout script at: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-build/blob/master/scripts/checkout.sh but it is assuming a bit too much IMO, at least more than we can currently assume.
> I suggest:
>  cleanup to checkout as if you just did clones (i.e. no removal of jbosstools- prefix)
>  allow to do it to a directory
>  don't setup branches (not something that you necessarily want to do on all repos and can be done better by custom/specific scripting)
>  fix bootstrap profiles to use full names not the names done in this script.
