sync: respect `sync-c` manifest option

The documentation states that a `sync-c` attribute in the manifest file
can set a default for whether only the current branch should be fetched
or all branches. This seems to have been broken for some time.

Commit 7356114 introduced the `--no-current-branch` CLI option and
relied on getting `None` via `optparse` if neither `--current-branch`
nor `--no-current-branch` was set to distinguish it from a boolean
value. If `None` was received, it would read the value from the manifest
option `sync-c`. The parsing went through the utility function
`_GetCurrentBranchOnly` which returned `True` if `--current-branch` had
been given on the command-line, or fell back on the "superproject"
setting, which would either return `True` or `None`. This would
incorrectly make `repo` fall back to the manifest setting even if the
user had given `--no-current-branch` if no superproject was requested --
the manifest became "too powerful":

Command-line         Using superproject  → `current_branch_only`
------------         ------------------  -----------------------
                     No                  From manifest
                     Yes                 True
--current-branch     No                  True
--current-branch     Yes                 True
--no-current-branch  No                  From manifest ← wrong
--no-current-branch  Yes                 True

In commit 0cb6e92 the superproject configuration value reading changed
from something that could return `None` to something that always
returned a boolean. If it returned `False`, this would then incorrectly
make `repo` ignore the manifest option even if neither
`--current-branch` nor `--no-current-branch` had been given. The
manifest default became useless:

Command-line         Using superproject  → `current_branch_only`
------------         ------------------  -----------------------
                     No                  False ← wrong
                     Yes                 True
--current-branch     No                  True
--current-branch     Yes                 True
--no-current-branch  No                  False
--no-current-branch  Yes                 True

By swapping the order in which the command-line option target and the
superproject setting is evaluated, things should work as documented:

Command-line         Using superproject  → `current_branch_only`
------------         ------------------  -----------------------
                     No                  From manifest
                     Yes                 True
--current-branch     No                  True
--current-branch     Yes                 True
--no-current-branch  No                  False
--no-current-branch  Yes                 True

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
