init: change --manifest-depth default to 1

2026-01-05T14:36:08+00:00

Most users do not care about the manifest history in .repo/manifests/. Let's change the default to 1 so things work smoothly for most people most of the time. For the rare folks who want the full history, they can add --manifest-depth=0 to their `repo init`. This has no effect on existing checkouts. Spot checking Android & CrOS manifests shows significant speedups. Full history can take O(10's seconds) to O(minutes) while depth of 1 takes constant time of O(~5 seconds).

sync: Add heuristic warning for bloated shallow repositories

2025-12-10T19:34:40+00:00

For clone-depth="1" repositories that are dirty or have local commits, add a check at the end of sync to detect excessive git object accumulation. This prevents silent performance degradation and disk exhaustion in large prebuilts repos where automatic GC is typically disabled from https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/+/7f87c54043ce9a35a5bb60a09ee846f9d7070352 Bug: 379111283 Change-Id: I376f38e1555cc6e906d852f6e63dc1c8f6331b4f Reviewed-on: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/git-repo/+/534701 Commit-Queue: Gavin Mak Reviewed-by: Mike Frysinger Tested-by: Gavin Mak

project: disable auto-gc on fetch for projects with clone-depth=1

2025-12-08T20:18:48+00:00

This prevents GC hangs on repos with large binaries by skipping implicit GC during network fetch, using clone-depth=1 as a heuristic.

Prevent leftover bare gitdirs after failed sync attempts

2025-12-05T18:35:46+00:00

The gitdir for a project may be left in a state with bare=true due to a previous failed sync. In this state, during a subsequent sync attempt, repo will skip initializing the gitdir (since the directory already exists) and directly attempt to checkout the worktree, which will fail because the project is bare. To reduce the chance of this happening, initialize the gitdir in a temp directory and move it once it is ready.

Due to the odd naming of the arguments to symlink(), the error when it failed to create a symbolic link was misleading.
