Failure Point	git clone --quiet --origin=origin --config=user.name=Melange Build --config=user.email=melange-build@cgr.dev --config=advice.detachedHead=false --branch=vertical-pod-autoscaler-1.4.0 --depth=1 https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler /tmp/tmp.a4C6Zb

Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The build is attempting to check out a branch named 'vertical-pod-autoscaler-1.4.0' from the repository, but this branch doesn't exist in the remote repository. The configuration file (vertical-pod-autoscaler.yaml) likely specifies this branch name, but it should be referring to a tag instead, as the log indicates the expected tag is 'vertical-pod-autoscaler-1.4.0'.

Analysis

The pattern in the similar fixed build failures is consistent: all involve Git checkout issues where the build system attempts to check out a branch that doesn't exist. In all three examples, the issue was related to tag naming or branch versus tag confusion.

The key patterns observed:

1. In fix example #0 and Add binutils-2.39 configuration #1, the system was attempting to checkout a tag (v2.32.0, v3.88.13) as if it were a branch.
2. In fix example Add pax-utils into the OS. #2, there was a prefix issue where the tag needed a 'v' prefix.

For the current vertical-pod-autoscaler failure, the error is similar: it's trying to checkout "vertical-pod-autoscaler-1.4.0" as a branch, but this is actually a tag in the repository, not a branch.

Explanation

The current error is happening because the YAML file specifies tag: vertical-pod-autoscaler-1.4.0 but the git-checkout step is attempting to use this as a branch name with the --branch flag. This is evidenced by the error message: "Remote branch vertical-pod-autoscaler-1.4.0 not found in upstream origin".

When examining the git command that's failing, we can see:
git clone --quiet --origin=origin --config=user.name=Melange Build --config=user.email=melange-build@cgr.dev --config=advice.detachedHead=false --branch=vertical-pod-autoscaler-1.4.0 --depth=1 https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler /tmp/tmp.a4C6Zb

The error occurs because the --branch flag is being used, but this doesn't match how the Melange YAML file is configured. The issue is that in the Melange git-checkout action, when using tag: in the YAML, the system should be using a different git clone approach for tags.

Looking at how Melange maps its YAML properties to git commands, when specifying a tag: in the YAML, Melange is likely still attempting to do a branch checkout instead of a tag checkout. By changing from tag: to branch: in the YAML file, we align the YAML configuration with how the git-checkout action is actually executing the command (with the --branch flag).

Alternative Approaches

• Update the URL to target the specific release tag. Instead of using branch or tag parameters, use a specific URL that includes the tag reference: https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/archive/refs/tags/vertical-pod-autoscaler-1.4.0.tar.gz
• Use 'ref:' instead of 'tag:' or 'branch:' if the Melange git-checkout action supports it, which would be more flexible in handling either branches or tags
• Examine if the particular tag needs to be renamed in the YAML file to match the actual git repository structure - check if there's a different tag name pattern being used in the repo
