Description Belen Barros Pena 2016-01-20 10:34:59 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a Toaster project

2. Import a layer, for example:

layer name: meta-sdr-toaster
git url: git://github.com/balister
revision: master

3. Go to the layer details page for the layer you just imported and edit the revision. For example, set it to 'blah'

4. Go back to the project configuration page and hover over the name of the layer you imported: you can still see the old revision (master). Click on the layer name: the revision is back to 'master'.

All the other layer information fields seem to work ok: it is just the revision not saving changes.

This is important as it is not obvious to the new user what revision means here.
So when I found out it was the git branch or tag and not a revision number (e.g. "1.0") I had to edit layer info, but could not do so. Instead I had to delete layer and import again.
