Rahul Yadav 178b66ee3e sync: keep smart sync override with -l
Splitting a sync into `repo sync -n` followed by `repo sync -l` should
end up in the same state as a single `repo sync`. With smart sync it
does not always: -n fetches the revisions pinned by the smart sync
manifest and saves it as smart_sync_override.xml, but the following -l
deletes that override and checks out ToT instead, unless the manifest
sets sync-smartsync="true". So `repo sync -s -n` + `repo sync -l` lands
on ToT, while `repo sync -s` lands on the pinned revisions.

Without an explicit -s or -t, -l does not contact the manifest server,
so it cannot choose new pins itself; the only consistent choice is to
keep the override the previous -n left behind. Do that regardless of
the manifest default.

Syncs that choose a manifest themselves still replace or remove the
override as before: any sync without -l, and -l combined with -s, -t,
-m, --superproject-revision or --no-smart-sync. Smart sync stays
non-sticky for regular syncs, and `repo sync -l --no-smart-sync` still
discards the override to check out ToT.

repo

Repo is a tool built on top of Git. Repo helps manage many Git repositories, does the uploads to revision control systems, and automates parts of the development workflow. Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make it easier to work with Git. The repo command is an executable Python script that you can put anywhere in your path.

Contact

Please use the repo-discuss mailing list or issue tracker for questions.

You can file a new bug report under the "repo" component.

Please do not e-mail individual developers for support. They do not have the bandwidth for it, and often times questions have already been asked on repo-discuss or bugs posted to the issue tracker. So please search those sites first.

Install

Many distros include repo, so you might be able to install from there.

# Debian/Ubuntu.
$ sudo apt-get install repo

# Gentoo.
$ sudo emerge dev-vcs/repo

You can install it manually as well as it's a single script.

$ mkdir -p ~/.bin
$ PATH="${HOME}/.bin:${PATH}"
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/.bin/repo
$ chmod a+rx ~/.bin/repo

Shell Completion

Repo includes completion scripts for Bash and Zsh.

Bash

To enable completion in Bash, source completion.bash in your ~/.bashrc:

source /path/to/git-repo/completion.bash

Zsh

To enable completion in Zsh, you can either:

  1. Copy or symlink completion.zsh to a file named _repo in a directory in your $fpath:

    mkdir -p ~/.zsh/completion
    # You can copy the file:
    cp /path/to/git-repo/completion.zsh ~/.zsh/completion/_repo
    # Or symlink it:
    ln -s /path/to/git-repo/completion.zsh ~/.zsh/completion/_repo
    

    Then add that directory to your fpath in ~/.zshrc before compinit:

    fpath=(~/.zsh/completion $fpath)
    autoload -Uz compinit
    compinit
    
  2. Or source the file directly and call compdef in your ~/.zshrc:

    source /path/to/git-repo/completion.zsh
    compdef _repo repo
