docs: update Windows info

Add a section on worktrees to avoid symlink problems, and note that Python 3 is now a hard requirement. Change-Id: I83811db88692127c40cec8270f6f9486c639dc3f Reviewed-on: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/git-repo/+/256314 Tested-by: Mike Frysinger Reviewed-by: David Pursehouse

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.

docs: improve project-objects & worktrees layout info

2020-02-19T21:58:43+00:00

Make it clear that the paths have a .git suffix, and clarify the reason for not using remote servers in the layout. Change-Id: I62c6977ee6f4e1e9882d45727eb239cf5489d2b6 Reviewed-on: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/git-repo/+/256033 Reviewed-by: Jonathan Nieder Tested-by: Mike Frysinger

add experimental git worktree support

2020-02-19T18:11:33+00:00

This provides initial support for using git worktrees internally instead of our own ad-hoc symlink tree. It's been lightly tested which is why it's not currently exposed via --help. When people opt-in to worktrees in an existing repo client checkout, no projects are migrated. Instead, only new projects will use the worktree method. This allows for limited testing/opting in without having to completely blow things away or get a second checkout.

upload: add support for setting hashtags

2020-02-19T08:31:18+00:00

This allows users to specify custom hashtags when uploading, both via the CLI and via the same gitconfig settings as other upload options.

docs: document git/python/Ubuntu/Debian release schedules

2020-02-12T00:27:59+00:00

Going purely on upstream package release cycles doesn't tell the whole story: a lot of people run LTS distros which will have older versions of software we want to support. Build out a table for us to quickly reference when making decisions as to what versions of git/python we want to support, and when we can drop them. This will also help to refer users to as why we made a specific decision that might be affecting them.

Currently the only reference for these is the source which can be a pita when needing to refer to something quickly. Change-Id: I52baeb9a4935814cf99fa9a9b3102e8e46cddb0d Reviewed-on: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/git-repo/+/253972 Tested-by: Mike Frysinger Reviewed-by: David Pursehouse
