Each time I sign off the commit, it's adding a new merge remote commit. Any idea how to stop that?
The issue affects very old cinc-client versions (we're on 15.6.10 and upgrading to 18.3.0), so the maintainers opted not to take the changes, which is their decision.
If you take the code changes I have suggested in this PR and also the mixlib changes mentioned too, then the upgrade can work. I've put my custom mixlib into an artifactory instance and so that's been enough for me to make progress.
Oh that's interesting. I'm on cinc-client 18.3.0 and it didn't cooperate. I got the same error from https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/chef_client_updater/issues/249 and I thought this was still the solution... Maybe it's not related to this, but more on that other one.
There is a product matrix in mixlib that needed updating to add cinc which is what my pull request to mixlib added: https://github.com/chef/mixlib-install/pull/389
