Carlos Fernandez 5534f164d6 linkfile: Handle directory-to-symlink transitions safely
When a manifest changes from individual linkfiles inside a directory
(e.g. dest=".llms/rules", dest=".llms/skills") to a single linkfile
for the whole directory (e.g. dest=".llms", src="dot-llms"), two
things need to happen:

1. __linkIt must replace a real directory with a symlink.  Use
   os.rmdir() instead of platform_utils.remove() for real directories.
   rmdir only removes empty directories, so user-created content is
   never deleted.

2. UpdateCopyLinkfileList must handle the cleanup correctly:
   - Use os.rmdir() for directories (safe for non-empty)
   - Remove empty parent directories after cleaning old dests
   - Retry _CopyAndLinkFiles for all projects, since in interleaved
     sync mode _CopyAndLinkFiles runs before cleanup and may have
     failed because the directory was not yet empty

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
