The mirror option downloads a complete forrest (as described by the
manifest) and creates a replica of the remote repositories rather
than a client working directory. This permits other clients to
sync off the mirror site.
A mirror can be positioned in a "DMZ", where the mirror executes
"repo sync" to obtain changes from the external upstream and
clients inside the protected zone operate off the mirror only,
and therefore do not require direct git:// access to the external
upstream repositories.

This destroys a local development branch, removing all history
of that branch from ever existing. If the branch is currently
checked out we move back to the upstream revision.

This hook is evaluated by `git gc --auto` to determine if it is a
good idea to execute a GC at this time, or defer it to some later
date. When working on a laptop its a good idea to avoid GC if you
are on battery power as the extra CPU and disk IO would consume a
decent amount of the charge.
The hook is the standard sample hook from git.git contrib/hooks,

I added the GPLv2 header to the script to ensure the license notice
is clear, as it does not match repo's own APLv2 license.
We only update hooks during initial repository creation or on
a repo sync. This way we don't incur huge overheads from the
hook stat operations during "repo status" or even the normal
"repo sync" cases.

Now that repo relies only on the git data stream (as it is much
faster to download through) we don't really need to be parsing the
<snapshot> elements within manifest. Its a lot of complex code to
convert the tar (or zip) through to a fast import stream, and we
just aren't calling it anymore.

Now `repo download . 1402` would download the change numbered 1402
into the current project and check it out for the user, using a
detached HEAD. `repo sync .` would back out of the change and
return to the upstream version.
Multiple projects can be fetched at once by listing them out on
the command line as different arguments.
Individual patch sets can be selected by adding a '/n' to indicate
the n-th patch set should be downloaded instead of the default of
patch set 1.

This way users are well aware of which account we used when the
uploads are complete, so they can be certain to sign into the web
application with that user identity.
