Tar scm clones the previous version of the package

[rcmadhankumar]

I am trying to update cni-plugins package from 1.6.0 to 1.6.2.

# cat _service
<services>
  <service name="tar_scm" mode="manual">
    <param name="url">https://github.com/containernetworking/plugins.git</param>
    <param name="scm">git</param>
    <param name="filename">cni-plugins</param>
    <param name="exclude">.git</param>
    <param name="revision">v1.6.2</param>
    <param name="versionformat">@PARENT_TAG@</param>
    <param name="changesgenerate">enable</param>
    <param name="versionrewrite-pattern">v(.*)</param>
  </service>
  <service name="recompress" mode="manual">
    <param name="file">cni-plugins-*.tar</param>
    <param name="compression">xz</param>
  </service>
  <service name="set_version" mode="manual">
    <param name="basename">cni-plugins</param>
  </service>
</services>

But it clones 1.6.1 tarball.

The problem is that upstream accidentally tagged the same commit with 1.6.1 and 1.6.2. The tar_scm service then tries to detect the parent tag via:

obs-service-tar_scm/TarSCM/scm/git.py

Line 310 in e5e3488

def _detect_parent_tag(self, args=None):

which invokes git describe --tags --abbrev=0 and that returns v1.6.1 in the cni-plugins git repo.

You can work around this by adding the parent-tag entry to your _service file.
