project: stop symlinking svn under .git/

This path only matters to users of `git svn` who manually run it in
local projects after they get a full repo client checkout.  With svn
usage falling in general, and with the fact that the source checkout
now symlinks its .git/ state to the internal projects/ path, we don't
need to manage this anymore.

It means the path won't be shared among multiple local projects that
have the same remote, but so it goes.  It was an optimization only,
not functionality required for correctness.  We want to simplify the
internals to stop messing with git state, and this particular path
doesn't seem worth the effort to maintain.

We don't undo any existing svn symlinks if they exist since repo does
not care about them, and their existence doesn't hurt anything.

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
