repo: lower min version of git a bit

We were perhaps a bit too hasty to jump to git-2.10.  Existing LTS
releases of Ubuntu are quite old still: Trusty has 1.9 while Xenial
has 2.5.  While we plan on dropping support for those eventually as
we migrate to Python 3.6, we don't need to be so strict just yet on
the git versions.

We also want to disconnect the version the repo launcher requires
from the version the rest of the source tree requires.  The repo
launcher doesn't need as many features, and being flexible there
allows us more freedom to upgrade & rollback as needed.

So we'll allow git-1.7 again, but start warning on any users older
than git-1.9.  This aligns better with existing LTS releases, and
gives users a chance to start upgrading before we cut them off.

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.

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
