Gavin Mak 2e8a3805bb sync: don't run git ls-remote before fetchcmd on unpinned refs
When a project's revision is an unpinned branch or tag and superprojects
are not used (so self.revisionId is unset), _CustomFetch previously ran
git ls-remote against the Git remote before invoking repo.fetchcmd just
to pre-populate REPO_TREV.

This added a per-project network round-trip before fetchcmd and forced
branch resolution against the Git remote rather than letting fetchcmd
resolve REPO_RREV from its own server (just as standard git fetch does
in _RemoteFetch).

Only populate REPO_TREV before fetchcmd when the target commit SHA is
already known (via self.revisionId from superproject or a SHA-pinned
revisionExpr). When REPO_RREV is an unpinned branch or tag, leave
REPO_TREV empty, let fetchcmd resolve REPO_RREV and update the local
tracking ref and FETCH_HEAD, and verify afterward that the tracking ref
and FETCH_HEAD resolve to the same valid commit in the object store.

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
