manifest: Add `sync-strategy` attribute to project elements

2026-04-09T19:09:28+00:00

The only supported sync-strategy is "stateless". The intent is to keep the local workspace as small as possible by not keeping history during syncs. This prevents disk space waste for projects with large binaries where we only care about the current version. A follow up change will implement the logic.

Revert "init: change --manifest-depth default to 1"

This reverts commit 622a5bf9c2937fbfc631ccc30d5debf74010361d. CrOS infra is failing to sync code now for some reason. Until we can investigate further, pull this back out.

init: change --manifest-depth default to 1

2026-01-05T14:36:08+00:00

Most users do not care about the manifest history in .repo/manifests/. Let's change the default to 1 so things work smoothly for most people most of the time. For the rare folks who want the full history, they can add --manifest-depth=0 to their `repo init`. This has no effect on existing checkouts. Spot checking Android & CrOS manifests shows significant speedups. Full history can take O(10's seconds) to O(minutes) while depth of 1 takes constant time of O(~5 seconds).

Most of the file was doing this, but we've been inconsistent when adding new entries. Realign all of them.

manifest, project: Store project groups as sets

This helps a lot when including common manifests with groups and they use extend-project.

project: Use dicts to keep track of copyfiles and linkfiles

2025-11-26T10:07:35+00:00

This avoids copying/linking the same file/link multiple times if a copyfile/linkfile element with the same values has been specifed multiple times. This can happen when including a common manifest that uses an extend-project element that has a copyfile/linkfile element. This uses dicts rather than sets to store the copyfiles and linkfiles to make sure the order they are specified in the manifest is maintained. For Python 3.7+, maintaining the order that keys are added to dicts is guaranteed, and for Python 3.6 it happened to be true. The _CopyFile class and the _LinkFile class are changed to inherit from NamedTuple to be able to store them in dicts.
