This feature is used to convey information on a when a branch has
ceased development or if it is an experimental branch with a few
gotchas, etc.
You add it to your manifest XML by doing something like this:
<manifest>
<notice>
NOTE TO DEVELOPERS:
If you checkin code, you have to pinky-swear that it contains no bugs.
Anyone who breaks their promise will have tomatoes thrown at them in the
team meeting. Be sure to bring an extra set of clothes.
</notice>
<remote ... />
...
</manifest>
Carriage returns and indentation are relevant for the text in this tag.
This feature was requested by Anush Elangovan on the ChromiumOS team.
This option allows the user to specify a manifest server to use when
syncing. This manifest server will provide a manifest pegging each
project to a known green build. This allows developers to work on a
known good tree that is known to build and pass tests, preventing
failed builds to hamper productivity.
The manifest used is not "sticky" so as to allow subsequent
'repo sync' calls to sync to the tip of the tree.

If the manifest repository is on a detached HEAD and we are parsing
an XML formatted manifest we should simply set the branch property
to None, rather than crash with an AttributeError.

The revisionExpr field now holds an expression from the manifest,
such as "refs/heads/master", while revisionId holds the current
commit-ish SHA-1 of the revisionExpr. Currently that is only
filled in if the manifest points directly to a SHA-1.

We now feed Project a RemoteSpec, instead of the Remote directly
from the XmlManifest. This way the RemoteSpec already has the
full project URL, rather than just the base, permitting other
types of manifests to produce the URL in their own style.

We'll soon be supporting two different manifest formats, but we
can't immediately remove support for the current XML one that is
in wide spread use within Android.
