Summary
Keep the host-local catalog control directory out of Git transport.
st2 now adds
.st2/to the repository-local.git/info/excludewhen it initializes catalog control state or bootstraps a catalog.Non-Git catalogs do not require Git. Repeated initialization preserves existing exclusion bytes and does not add duplicate lines.
Reason
An incomplete-apply marker is authoritative on every host. If Git transports
.st2/, that copied marker blocks declaration reads in each destination clone.Existing catalogs
The README tells operators to add the exact
.st2/line before the next sync. If Git already tracks.st2, the README givesgit -C "$CATALOG" rm -r --cached -- .st2and explains that committing the staged removal preserves local control files. The VRS records the host-local boundary and fail-closed behavior.Validation
