Hung-Wei Chen f01eb8774f git_config, project: coalesce SetString writes in BatchWrites
This change attempts to skip sequential git config calls in order to
further speed up git-repo's performance for VFS integration. On
git-main we currently call git config 26K+ times, causing roughly 5~6
seconds of latency (see b/543101585#comment23's TRACE_FILE for data).
Given the expected time of VFS integration is targeting 30s, 6 seconds
makes a huge difference.

During an initial `repo sync`, initializing each project (`_InitGitDir`
and `_InitRemote`) invokes `SetString` multiple times per project, and
`SyncAnalysisState` writes `repo.syncstate.*` keys once per sync.
Because the `git config` CLI has no batch-write mode to set multiple
keys in a single invocation, each `SetString` call previously spawned a
separate `git config` subprocess and rewrote `.repo_config.json` per key
(see b/543101585#comment23 and b/543101585#comment25 for trace profiles
and benchmark data).

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
