project: migrate worktree .git/ dirs to symlinks
Historically we created a .git/ subdir in each source checkout and
symlinked individual files to the .repo/projects/ paths. This layer
of indirection isn't actually needed: the .repo/projects/ paths are
guaranteed to only ever have a 1-to-1 mapping with the actual git
checkout. So we don't need to worry about having files in .git/ be
isolated.
To that end, change how we manage the actual project checkouts from
a dir full of symlinks (and a few files) to a symlink to the internal
.repo/projects/ dir. This makes the code simpler & faster.
The directory structure we have today is:
.repo/
project-objects/chromiumos/third_party/kernel.git/
<paths omitted as not relevant to this change>
projects/src/third_party/kernel/
v3.8.git/

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
