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.

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.
