Add envar to replace shallow clones with partial

An investigation go/git-repo-shallow shows a number of problems
when doing a shallow git fetch/clone. This change introduces an
environment variable REPO_ALLOW_SHALLOW. When this environment variable
is set to 1 during a repo init or repo sync all shallow git fetch
commands are replaced with partial fetch commands. Any shallow
repository needing update is unshallowed. This behavior continues until
a subsequent repo sync command is run with REPO_ALLOW_SHALLOW set to 1.

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
