Error when updating nodenv

[dacook]

Playbook: provision.yml
OS: Ubuntu 20.04

When provision has been executed a second time, nodenv update fails with below message.
I've seen it on a few servers, including uk_prod.

 ! [rejected]          v5         -> v5  (would clobber existing tag)
 * [new tag]           v5.3.20    -> v5.3.20

Workaround

Quick fix is to ssh and manually reset it, ie:

openfoodnetwork@uk-prod2:~/$ cd ~/.nodenv/plugins/node-build
openfoodnetwork@uk-prod2:~/.nodenv/plugins/node-build$ git fetch --tags -f

I'm assuming that this is fixed now. Re-open if you come across this again.

Still a problem.

So I finally bothered to investigate, and it looks like they are maintaining a general v5 tag, updating it each time there's a new release. Which creates an error when performing a standard git operation, bad idea!

I don't get why this is not a problem for everyone else
