Add "stamp" action for nightly integration branch following
Historically we've used a nightly-master
branch in some projects that a bot fast-forwards to master
each night at a given time.
We also had the same thing for next
, and the latter has become the stage
action's tag_stage
operation. It produces:
refs/stage/master/nightly/latest
refs/stage/master/nightly/CCYY/MM/DD
based on the value of refs/stage/master/head
.
We need an equivalent of this for following an integration branch without considering the stage. I propose a "stamp" operation that can be scheduled each night. It would produce:
refs/stamp/master/nightly/latest
refs/stamp/master/nightly/CCYY/MM/DD
based on the value of refs/heads/master
.
