Checkout branch not tag about neobundle.vim HOT 8 CLOSED

I don't think it is fatal bug and neobundle development is over.

I have tested it in dein.vim. dein.vim works properly.

So closing.

from neobundle.vim.

I have checked the source code.

If you use "release", it means use released tag instead of the branch.
So it is feature of neobundle.vim.

function! s:type.get_revision_lock_command(bundle) abort "{{{
  if !executable(g:neobundle#types#git#command_path)
    return ''
  endif

  let rev = a:bundle.rev
  if rev ==# 'release'
    " Use latest released tag
    let rev = neobundle#installer#get_release_revision(a:bundle,
          \ g:neobundle#types#git#command_path . ' tag')
  endif
  if rev == ''
    " Fix detach HEAD.
    let rev = 'master'
  endif

  return g:neobundle#types#git#command_path . ' checkout ' . rev
endfunction"}}}

from neobundle.vim.

It is already documented. Please read the documentation.

		rev			(String)
		Specify a revision number or branch/tag name.
		If it is "release" in "git" type, neobundle will use latest
		released tag.

from neobundle.vim.

Thanks for your replies!

I'm now using:

NeoBundle 'neoclide/coc.nvim', { 'rev': 'release' }

But still, I have a detached HEAD at v0.0.71.

How do I make NeoBundle download and checkout release branch?

from neobundle.vim.

I don't understand the difference between raw type and git type:

If it is "release" in "git" type, neobundle will use latest released tag.
Note: If the type is "raw", rev is hash number.

If it isn't possible to checkout a branch called release, then that's fine, I just want to make sure that I'm not missing anything with the format of the value of rev.

It is not possible. It is not supported.
