docs: add warnings about repos data model

2021-02-25T15:48:03+00:00

For people coming across these docs and thinking that repo's methods are good to replicate, add a note warning them against doing so.

init: added --use-superproject option to clone superproject.

2021-02-11T18:59:29+00:00

Added --no-use-superproject to repo and init.py to disable use of manifest superprojects. Replaced the term "sha" with "commit id". Added _GetBranch method to Superproject object. Moved shared code between init and sync into SyncSuperproject function. This function either does git clone or git fetch. If git fetch fails it does git clone. Changed Superproject constructor to accept manifest, repodir and branch to avoid passing them to multiple functions as argument. Changed functions that were raising exceptions to return either True or False. Saved the --use-superproject option in config as repo.superproject. Updated internal-fs-layout.md document. Updated the tests to work with the new API changes in Superproject. Performance for the first time sync has improved from 20 minutes to around 15 minutes. Tested the code with the following commands. $ ./run_tests -v Tested the sync code by using repo_dev alias and pointing to this CL. $ repo init took around 20 seconds longer because of cloning of superproject. $ time repo_dev init -u sso://android.git.corp.google.com/platform/manifest -b master --partial-clone --clone-filter=blob:limit=10M --repo-rev=main --use-superproject ... real 0m35.919s user 0m21.947s sys 0m8.977s First run $ time repo sync --use-superproject ... real 16m41.982s user 100m6.916s sys 19m18.753s No difference in repo sync time after the first run.

switch to "main" branch for development

2020-11-16T05:07:33+00:00

We're migrating from "master" to "main" as the default development branch. This only affects repo itself, not manifests.

Make partial clone imply no-clone-bundle by default.

2020-05-21T19:47:36+00:00

For large projects, clone bundle is useful because it provided a way to efficiently transfer a large portion of git objects through CDN, without needing to interact with git server. However, with partial clones, the intention is to not download most of the objects, so the use of clone bundles would defeat the space savings normally seen with partial clones, as they are downloaded before the first fetch. A new option, --clone-bundle is added to override this behavior. Add a new repo.clonebundle variable which remembers the choice if explicitly given from command line at repo init.

init: rename --repo-branch to --repo-rev

2020-03-18T00:24:43+00:00

We refer to this as "revision" in help text, and in REPO_REV envvar, so rename to --repo-rev to be consistent. We keep --repo-branch for backwards compatibility, but as a hidden option.

manifest_xml: change .repo/manifest.xml to a plain file

2020-02-22T04:38:17+00:00

Changing this to a file instead of using a symlink serves two purposes: * We can insert some comments & doc links to help users learn what this is for, discover relevant documentation, and to discourage them from modifying things. * Windows requires Administrator access to use symlinks. With this last change, Windows users can get repo client checkouts with the new --worktree option and not need symlinks anywhere at all. Which means they no longer need to be an Administrator in order to `repo sync`.

git_config: add support for repo-specific settings

2020-02-20T00:53:39+00:00

This allows people to write ~/.repoconfig/config akin to ~/.gitconfig and .repo/config akin to .git/config. This allows us to add settings specific to repo without mixing up git, and to persist in general.
