sandbox and project version will never match because of credentials

[josephjclark]

Ah this is such an annoying problem to hit!

When generating version hashes, we include the credential UUID in the hash. The idea here of course being that if you change the credential, it will be recognised as a new version and track the change.

But there's a bit of a problem in the CLI with sandboxes. A Project and its Sandbox have different version hashes because they both have different credential UUIDs.

One solution is to hash credentials by name, which works if we assume that the credential name is consistent across deployments. Ie, "Joe's DHIS2 Credential" exists in

The other is to exclude credentials entirely from version control and merging.

Nut we know that there are times we do want to sync a credential. And if you switch a step from cred A to B, we really ought to track that change.

Also if using proper sandboxes the credential does have the same UUID

if you're using a "sandbox", as like a manual duplicated project with its own credentials, then we do hit this problem
