Add the ability to administratively enroll repo into using superproject.

Repo will remember a choice and an expiration time of the choice, per
user, about whether to use superproject by default. When not specified
from command line and the choice is not expired, repo would use the
user default value.

When a user default value is not present and when the system wide
enable default is provided in git's system configuration, repo would
ask the user for a confirmation which will be valid for two weeks.

git_config.py: Add support for system config. When reading system
	config, we would use --system to avoid hardcoding a path as the
	value may be different on some other distributions.

git_superproject.py: Add a new subroutine, _UseSuperproject(), which
	returns whether superproject should be used and whether it
	is from a user configuration.

	The value is determined in the following order:

	1. If the user specifies either --use-superproject or
	--no-use-superproject, then that choice is being used.

	2. If neither is specified, we would then check the saved value
	(upon repo init) and use that choice when there was a choice.

	3. We then check if there is a saved and unexpired value for
	user's choice in their ~/.gitconfig, and use the unexpired
	choice, if available.

	4. Finally, if all the above didn't give us a decision, and if
	the git system configuration is providing a rollout hint, present
	a prompt to user for their decision and save it in ~/.gitconfig.

subcmds/sync.py: Make use of the new UseSuperproject() provided by
git_superproject.py.

While there also silent stderr from git describe when determining the
version of repo.

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
