#52 external projects, when do they sync?
I thought my pe-git: project was only supposed to update from the external repository at its initial creation and when I manually select "sync all source files". But it seems to be doing it at other times as well. It should do it only at predictable times. When is it doing it and when do I want it to do it?

yes, it's doing git pull and git checkout every time there's a make operation in a downstream project. this is possibly wasteful, but not unacceptable. The problem is that the output of the git commands clutters up the page where the make operation is done. I've changed it from message output to debug output, but this is not a good solution because mortal users of the wiki won't be able to see that. Probably best to go back to pull and checkout only on manual sync operations. (This requires being able to open a project page for the external project, see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3190568&group_id=366300&atid=1527385)
Now it doesn't seem to be pulling at all. I suspect a new bug (but might as well track it here).
