sync: Provide a CLI command to opt in/out of smartsync for a user.

2026-10-19T19:20:06+00:00

Add a boolean `sync.smartsync` setting in the per-user repo config (~/.repoconfig/config): * true: smart sync by default, as if -s were passed. * false: never smart sync by default, even if the manifest enables it. * unset: follow the manifest default, as before. Add docs/repoconfig.md as the user facing documentation for ~/.repoconfig/config and its settings, and point smart-sync.md and the `repo sync` help at it.

upload: reject --fix with --ignore-hooks or --no-verify

2026-10-16T07:18:33+00:00

--fix asks the pre-upload hook to apply its fixups, but: * --no-verify skips the hook entirely, so --fix silently does nothing. * --ignore-hooks uploads the original commits even if the hook fails, so any fixups applied to the working tree are not part of the upload. Whether --fix should then apply fixups or be ignored is ambiguous. Reject both combinations up front, before any hook runs, instead of picking an interpretation.

sync: Add GetApprovedManifestV2 with named request options

2026-10-14T10:30:36+00:00

Smart sync calls GetApprovedManifest(branch[, target]) over XML-RPC, which only supports positional arguments. Adding new request options that way does not scale. Add a GetApprovedManifestV2 method that takes a single struct of named options and returns a struct: request: {branch, target?, best_effort?} response: {success, manifest_xml?, error_message?} Servers must ignore unknown options, so new options (e.g. criteria for selecting a good build) can be added without another method. The first new option is `best_effort`. repo sets it when smart sync was enabled implicitly by the manifest's sync-smartsync="true" default rather than by -s. The server may decline a best_effort request (e.g. for rollout or cohort gating) by returning success=false. The client still owns the fallback policy: declined implicit requests fall back to a regular sync, while explicit -s requests fail as before. If the server does not implement GetApprovedManifestV2, repo falls back to the legacy GetApprovedManifest call.

repo: tolerate a transiently missing stable branch

2026-10-13T20:55:40+00:00

The automated release process deletes the stable branch and then recreates it. A client that fetches during that window can't find it: `repo init` fails to resolve --repo-rev, and the daily self-update in `repo sync` fails with "Cannot fetch repo tool". In the launcher, if --repo-rev doesn't resolve after the initial fetch, wait 10 seconds and refetch once before giving up. `resolve_repo_rev` gains a `report_errors` flag so this first check doesn't print an error that the refetch then fixes. Bump the launcher version to 2.69 so existing users pick this up. For fetches of the repo project itself (sync's self-update and `repo selfupdate`), wait 10 seconds instead of 4 before retrying. The delay is now a `RETRY_SLEEP_INITIAL_SEC` class attribute that `RepoProject` overrides, so other projects keep the 4 second delay. This replaces the unused `retry_sleep_initial_sec` parameter of `_RemoteFetch`.

sync: keep smart sync override with -l

2026-10-12T09:14:30+00:00

Splitting a sync into `repo sync -n` followed by `repo sync -l` should end up in the same state as a single `repo sync`. With smart sync it does not always: -n fetches the revisions pinned by the smart sync manifest and saves it as smart_sync_override.xml, but the following -l deletes that override and checks out ToT instead, unless the manifest sets sync-smartsync="true". So `repo sync -s -n` + `repo sync -l` lands on ToT, while `repo sync -s` lands on the pinned revisions. Without an explicit -s or -t, -l does not contact the manifest server, so it cannot choose new pins itself; the only consistent choice is to keep the override the previous -n left behind. Do that regardless of the manifest default. Syncs that choose a manifest themselves still replace or remove the override as before: any sync without -l, and -l combined with -s, -t, -m, --superproject-revision or --no-smart-sync. Smart sync stays non-sticky for regular syncs, and `repo sync -l --no-smart-sync` still discards the override to check out ToT.

sync: skip clone.bundle when repo.fetchcmd is configured

2026-10-09T21:09:50+00:00

In Sync_NetworkHalf, clone_bundle defaults to True on initial sync when self.objdir does not exist yet, and _ApplyCloneBundle is called before custom_fetch_configured is checked. For remotes with HTTP/HTTPS URLs that serve /clone.bundle, this causes repo sync to download and unpack the full clone.bundle into .git/objects before invoking repo.fetchcmd. Skip _ApplyCloneBundle when custom_fetch_configured is enabled so repo.fetchcmd exclusively handles object fetching.

project: peel annotated tags in GetRevisionId with cached refs

2026-10-09T21:09:44+00:00

When all_refs (e.g. self.bare_ref.all in Sync_LocalHalf) is passed to GetRevisionId, looking up a tag ref in all_refs returns the tag object SHA for annotated tags rather than the peeled commit SHA. In Sync_LocalHalf, this causes repo.reprojectcmd to receive a tag SHA in REPO_TREV and DetachHead to fail with 'trying to write non-commit object to branch HEAD', and causes standard checkouts to re-checkout on every subsequent sync because HEAD (the commit SHA) never equals revid (the tag object SHA). Skip the all_refs fast path for refs/tags/* so tags always fall through to bare_git.ResolveCommit, which peels to the underlying commit SHA.

sync: don't run git ls-remote before fetchcmd on unpinned refs

2026-10-09T21:09:37+00:00

When a project's revision is an unpinned branch or tag and superprojects are not used (so self.revisionId is unset), _CustomFetch previously ran git ls-remote against the Git remote before invoking repo.fetchcmd just to pre-populate REPO_TREV. This added a per-project network round-trip before fetchcmd and forced branch resolution against the Git remote rather than letting fetchcmd resolve REPO_RREV from its own server (just as standard git fetch does in _RemoteFetch). Only populate REPO_TREV before fetchcmd when the target commit SHA is already known (via self.revisionId from superproject or a SHA-pinned revisionExpr). When REPO_RREV is an unpinned branch or tag, leave REPO_TREV empty, let fetchcmd resolve REPO_RREV and update the local tracking ref and FETCH_HEAD, and verify afterward that the tracking ref and FETCH_HEAD resolve to the same valid commit in the object store.
