Git checkouts must contain explicit versionANS-E4001

Major severityMajor
Bug Risk categoryBug Risk

All version control checkouts must point to an explicit commit or tag, not just latest.

Relying on latest may lead to breakages in the application if the latest version is unstable or not meant for use with the current system.

Bad practice

- git:
    repo: 'https://foosball.example.org/path/to/repo.git'
    dest: /srv/checkout
    version: latest

- git:
    repo: 'https://foosball.example.org/path/to/repo.git'
    dest: /srv/checkout
    version: release-0.22
