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).

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.
