project: stop symlinking info dir under .git/ Unsharing this directory shouldn't be a problem. The current repo code treated it as a file, and while that's actually incorrect, files & dirs are basically treated the same, so it's practically the same. Let's enumerate each subpath since there aren't that many. info/refs: Only used when the project is exported over git dumb transports (i.e. a http:// server). Repo never does this, and it's extremely unlikely any user has ever done this. Plus, this proposal talks about unsharing project refs, so this file should get unshared too. info/grafts: A user-configurable file that repo never touches. Might be useful to share across projects, but probably rarely (if ever) used by developers, and forcing them to configure it for each project isn't that big of a deal. info/exclude: info/attributes: User-configurable files that repo never touches. Doesn't seem like most users ever touch these, and if they do, having them do it for each shared project isn't a big deal. info/sparse-checkout: Repo doesn't use sparse checkouts, and it's extremely unlikely to even work if a user tried doing something themselves.

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.
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.
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
