Salt: State 'git.latest' was not found in SLS 'foobar'

[mooperd]

Description of Issue/Question

I have found this error since the Saltstack RPMs which are install by salt-bootstrap were updated. I guess they come from the salt repo https://repo.saltstack.com/yum/redhat/7.

[root@ip-172-31-28-194 salt]# salt-call --local state.apply foobar

I don't get the error with git v2016.11.6
I don't get the error with git develop
Interestingly I didn't get the error with git v2017.7.0

It seems that its just the default salt-bootstrap install from the salt repo is broken. All the git versions seem to be testing ok.

Correct, if you run git 2017.7.0 it will install git, and then you will be able to use the git commands.

You will need to yum install -y git for the git module to be available.

you can also run -p git on the bootstrap and it will install the git package for you.
