I feel like i could probably just edit the melange config and write it out somehow and not call yam but this is mostly just poc stuff. |

changed the title
This subcommand pulls the source a build config. Currently it only supports git-checkout but in the future it should suppport more functionality. The purpose of this is to make interacting with upstream source and patches easier. I'd like a workflow like `melange source -o sources/ package.yaml` to setup a git tree with patches applied and another command that can do the revese. There's something similiar in source.go for license checks. That version runs the same shell script that the pipeline has. This command is meant for setting up an environment that can be used to develope against the upstream sources. I'm not interested shallow cloning or keeping a consistent commiter id or anything here. I'm realy just trying to make it easy to develop/debug packages using the upstream source.

I want this to be for development not for building which is why i'm not doing what sources did and running the pipeline which should be fine shell code. I also want all of the history if i'm doing development.
IMO Ideally the source locations would be used in pipelines but not actually defined in it so that other pipelines could reference it and melange could make smart choices. The update section for example of one that already works around this.
I'd really like to make a world in the future where we can enforce that all patches are applied in a sensible predictable order independent of the melange tool. As far as I can tell right now the best way to do that is to apply them to the source an pop ALL of our patches off as a stack from format-patch.
