Description

Related to issue #207. Right now you can specify a "git" repository and it'll clone/fetch and update the index if the HEAD changes.

I already have a system to deploy and keep Git repositories updated, and would prefer not to deal with another one, so if the clone/fetch calls were no-opped via some config option then hound would poll whether "HEAD" changed and trigger re-indexes as appropriate.

Right now the only way to do this is to make hound's $PATH have a dummy "git" that no-ops clone/fetch but passes through other commands.

Direction de recherche
Investigate the current git repository handling in the source code, likely in files related to configuration parsing and repository indexing. Understand how the 'git' command is invoked and consider adding a configuration option to skip clone/fetch for external repositories. Refer to issue #207 for context. Assess the feasibility of making the git operations conditional based on a new config field.
