After repo.fetchcmd exits, _CustomFetch verified the tracking ref and
FETCH_HEAD with ResolveCommit, i.e. `git rev-parse --verify
<ref>^{commit}`. Peeling to a commit makes Git look the object up: it
opens every pack index in objects/pack/ until it finds the commit, then
reads the commit from its packfile.
fetchcmd exists for object stores that are populated lazily, such as
ABFS, whose `abfs git fetch` registers packfiles as virtual files and
returns at once. There the peel is the first read of the packs the
command registered, and it blocks until they are downloaded. A project
whose revision did not change needs no objects to sync, yet paid that
download whenever fetchcmd registered new packs for it.
Compare the object IDs that the refs record instead (ResolveRef, which
runs the same rev-parse without the peel). Only when they differ peel
both sides to commits, so an annotated tag still matches the commit it
points to. A commit missing from the object store now fails the checkout
that reads it instead of the network half.
On a first sync the checkout reads the commit anyway, so there the
download only moves to the next command that needs the object.

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:
-
Copy or symlink
completion.zshto a file named_repoin 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/_repoThen add that directory to your
fpathin~/.zshrcbeforecompinit:fpath=(~/.zsh/completion $fpath) autoload -Uz compinit compinit -
Or source the file directly and call
compdefin your~/.zshrc:source /path/to/git-repo/completion.zsh compdef _repo repo
