upload: add --ignore-remote-commits

2026-11-03T08:10:19+00:00

When uploading a branch that merges another remote-tracking branch (such as an upstream branch into the destination branch), ReviewableBranch only excludes the destination tracking branch (^base). As a result, git rev-list walks the merged parent and counts all merged commits even though they already exist on a remote branch, triggering the unusual commit count warning in _VerifyPendingCommits. Add --ignore-remote-commits to `repo upload` to pass --not --remotes to git rev-list in ReviewableBranch so commits already reachable from refs/remotes/* are excluded from the pending commit list.

docs: add Repology links for distro package versions

2026-11-02T21:20:14+00:00

The Ubuntu and Debian release wiki pages added in https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/git-repo/+/649983 only list distro release and EOL dates, not which versions of Python, Git, or OpenSSH shipped in each distro release. Add Repology package version links alongside the distro release pages in python-support.md and requirements.json so maintainers can check which versions shipped across historical Ubuntu and Debian releases.

docs: release: update release process to match current practice

2026-10-27T19:29:45+00:00

The documented process has drifted from how releases are actually done: * Releases are now cut weekly by an automated pipeline, so the manual steps are only a fallback, and for rollbacks. * Releases are tested (both updating an existing checkout and a fresh init) before pushing anything. * The tag is pushed & announced first, and only promoted to stable after a day. * Direct pushes to the stable branch are rejected, so it has to be deleted & recreated via the Gerrit REST API instead.

docs: release: remove stale Project References table

2026-10-27T17:39:40+00:00

The table of git/python/ssh/distro versions hasn't been kept up to date and duplicates information maintained upstream by the distros and projects themselves. Drop it, and point the places that referenced it (python-support.md & requirements.json) at the Ubuntu & Debian release pages instead.

style: use `import git_refs` everywhere

2026-10-27T09:00:11+00:00

Align with Google style guides and `import git_refs` as a module rather than import symbols out of it.

upload: suppress git push progress when quiet or non-TTY

2026-10-26T21:51:52+00:00

`Project.UploadForReview()` unconditionally passed `--progress` to `git push`, forcing client and remote progress meters (`Counting objects`, `remote: Resolving deltas: 3%..100%`) even on non-TTY stderr or when `-q`/`--quiet` was passed. Meanwhile, `repo upload` ignored `opt.quiet` completely. Move `--progress` injection for `push` into `GitCommand` alongside `fetch` and `clone`, enabling it only when `sys.stderr.isatty()` and none of `--progress`, `--no-progress`, `--quiet`, or `-q` are set. Forward `opt.quiet` from `repo upload` to `Project.UploadForReview()` and pass `--no-progress` to `git push` rather than `--quiet` so Gerrit `remote: https://...` review URLs are still emitted and parsed by `_FindGerritUrls()`. Also suppress the non-error `[OK]` summary banner when `-q`/`--quiet` is set.

tests: e2e: add tests for more `repo init` options

2026-10-26T20:52:54+00:00

Cover `--reference` from a local mirror (with & without `--dissociate`), `--standalone-manifest` with a manifest file served over HTTP, and `--manifest-depth`. Teach the server to serve static files (`GitHost.publish_file`), let `manifest_xml` take an absolute `fetch` URL, and add `move_aside` to make git dirs disappear mid-test (deleting them fails on Windows).

2026-10-26T20:52:43+00:00

Cover projects missing on the server (incl. `--fail-fast`), missing project & manifest revisions, and local changes that conflict with an incoming change. The tests check that repo exits non-zero with a useful error, leaves the rest of the tree usable, and recovers once the problem is fixed. Let `RepoClient.init` return failures instead of raising.

tests: e2e: add tests for partial clones & the Android setup

2026-10-26T20:00:28+00:00

Cover the go/repo-init flags used across Android (superproject, `-c`, `--partial-clone`, `--partial-clone-exclude` & `--clone-filter`) followed by the go/sync flags, under Git 2 & Git 3 defaults: projects are pinned to the superproject, filtered blobs stay on the server, excluded projects are full clones, and incremental syncs skip projects whose pin didn't move. Also cover the default filter, and `sync -n` then `sync -l` with a partial clone (where `-l` has to fetch blobs on demand). Add harness helpers to read a checkout's git config, list the repos a client contacted, and create blobs that only exist in history.
