I created a PR for Git support here: https://github.com/vyos/vyos-1x/pull/2241

Note that command = command.lstrip() for def cmd in python/vyos/utils/process.py was reverted yesterday.

Causes funny problems during smoketests.

I have reverted them also in my PR, thanks for the heads up.

Is there anything I can do to improve this PR? I also noticed that there is no more example commit-archive output since vyos 1.4:

Before vyos 1.4 you would get:

vyos@vyos# set system config-management commit-archive location
Possible completions:
   <uri>        Uniform Resource Identifier

Detailed information:

    "scp://<user>:<passwd>@<host>/<dir>"
    "sftp://<user>:<passwd>@<host>/<dir>"
    "ftp://<user>:<passwd>@<host>/<dir>"
    "tftp://<host>/<dir>"

Now it doesn't show any "detailed information" anymore, so you don't have any examples.
Is this something that was intentionally removed? If not, should this be a new ticket to get this back in?

@yun thanks for pointing that out: the detailed information was lost in the rewrite of config-mgmt, and I will restore, in some or other form. As I recall, the PR looked good, so let me check any changes and review.

Can this get backported to 1.4?

It would be a great feature to have added before 1.4 gets released.

@GurliGebis definately
