Puppet users - Nov 2013 - Compile catalog against tagged version of a git repo?

I''m wondering if there is any feature that will allow puppet to compile
a
catalog against a specific tag of a git repo?

Well, yes and no. There''s no feature that directly supports
"compile
using this git tag/branch/hash", because puppet doesn''t
"know" about
git, it just operates on a directory (modulepath). What most people do 
is check out the git tag/brach/hash to a directory on the puppetmaster, 
and use that as an environment (see 
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/environment.html and 
http://puppetlabs.com/blog/git-workflow-and-puppet-environments). If you 
need something more automated, you can always use a git hook to create 
the directory and do the checkout on your puppetmaster. Then you''ll
just
specify the correct environment name when you run your agent.

I''m in the process of doing a puppet3 rollout that makes heavy use of 
this process. I''m planning on writing a series of blog posts detailing 
it, but haven''t really gotten started yet. If you need some more 
specific instructions, I can try to provide some.
