Try to more accurately estimate which projects take the longest to
sync by keeping an exponentially weighted moving average (a=0.5) of
fetch times, rather than just recording the last observation. This
should discount individual outliers (e.g. an unusually large project
update) and hopefully allow truly slow repos to bubble to the top.

Some projects may consistently take longer to fetch than others, for
example a more active project may have many more Gerrit changes than a
less active project, which take longer to transfer. Use a simple
heuristic based on the last fetch time to fetch slower projects first,
so we do not tend to spend the end of the sync fetching a small number
of outliers.
This algorithm is probably not optimal, and due to inter-run latency
variance and Python thread scheduling, we may not even have good
estimates of a project sync time.

We need a representation of git-submodule in repo; otherwise repo will
not sync submodules, and leave workspace in a broken state. Of course
this will not be a problem if all projects are owned by the owner of the
manifest file, who may simply choose not to use git-submodule in all
projects. However, this is not possible in practice because manifest
file owner is unlikely to own all upstream projects.
As git submodules are simply git repositories, it is natural to treat
them as plain repo projects that live inside a repo project. That is,
we could use recursively declared projects to denote the is-submodule
relation of git repositories.
The behavior of repo remains the same to projects that do not have a
sub-project within. As for parent projects, repo fetches them and their
sub-projects as normal projects, and then checks out subprojects at the
commit specified in parent's commit object. The sub-project is fetched
at a path relative to parent project's working directory; so the path
specified in manifest file should match that of .gitmodules file.
If a submodule is not registered in repo manifest, repo will derive its
properties from itself and its parent project, which might not always be
correct. In such cases, the subproject is called a derived subproject.
To a user, a sub-project is merely a git-submodule; so all tips of
working with a git-submodule apply here, too. For example, you should
not run `repo sync` in a parent repository if its submodule is dirty.

-p/--manifest-server-password, which can be used to specify a username
and password to authenticate to the manifest server when using the
-s/--smart-sync or -t/--smart-tag option.
If -u and -p are not specified when using the -s or -t option, use
authentication credentials from the .netrc file (if there are any).
Authentication credentials from -u/-p or .netrc are not used if the
manifest server specified in the manifest file already includes
credentials.

repo sync fails with the error: HTTP 401 Unauthorized.
Add support for getting the credentials from the .netrc file.
If a .netrc file exists in the user's home directory, and it contains
credentials for the hostname of the manifest server specified in the
manifest, use the credentials to authenticate with the manifest server

http://user:password@host:port/path
Credentials from the .netrc file are only used if the manifest server
URL specified in the manifest does not already include credentials.

`R_HEADS` is imported twice, from both the git_refs and project
modules.
It is actually defined in git_refs, and in project it is imported
from there, so the import of `R_HEADS` from project in the sync
module is redundant. Remove it.
`HEAD` is imported from project, but like `R_HEADS` it is actually
defined in git_refs. Import it from git_refs instead.

When connecting to the manifest server, exceptions can occur but
are not caught, resulting in the repo sync exiting with a python

Add handling of the following exceptions:
- IOError, which can be raised for example if the manifest server

- xmlrpclib.ProtocolError, which can be raised if the connection
to the manifest server fails with HTTP error.
- xmlrpclib.Fault, which can be raised if the RPC call fails for
some other reason.

The threaded 'repo sync' implementation would very often freeze the
process when interrupted by the user with Ctrl-C. The only solution
being to kill -9 the process explicitly from another terminal.
The reason for this is best explained here:
http://snakesthatbite.blogspot.fr/2010/09/cpython-threading-interrupting.html
This patch makes all helper sync threads 'daemon', which allows the
process to terminate immediately on Ctrl-C.
Note that this will forcefully kill all threads in case of interruption; this
is generally a bad thing, but:
1/ This is equivalent to calling kill -9 in another terminal, which
is the _only_ thing that can currently stop the process.
2/ There doesn't seem to be a way to tell the worker threads to
gently stop when they are in a blocking operation anyway (even
in the non-threaded case).
+ Do the same for "repo status -j<count>".

Allows specifying a list of groups with a -g argument to repo init.
The groups act on a group= attribute specified on projects in the
manifest.
All projects are implicitly labelled with "default" unless they are
explicitly labelled "-default".
Prefixing a group with "-" removes matching projects from the list
of projects to sync.
If any non-inverted manifest groups are specified, the default label
is ignored.

This permits manifest authors to suggest a number of parallel
fetch operations against a remote server. For example, Gerrit
Code Review servers support queuing of requests and processes
them in first-in, first-out order. Running concurrent fetches
can utilize multiple CPUs on the Gerrit server, but will also
decrease overall operation latency by having the request put
into the queue ready to execute as soon as a CPU is free.

Each worker thread requires at least 3 file descriptors to run the
forked 'git fetch' child to operate against the local repository.
Mac OS X has the RLIMIT_NOFILE set to 256 by default, which means
a sync -j128 often fails when the workers run out of pipes within

Users may wind up with a lot of loose object content in projects they
don't frequently make changes in, but that are modified by others.
Since we bypass many git code paths that would have otherwise called
out to `git gc --auto`, its possible for these projects to have
their loose object database grow out of control. To help prevent
that, we now invoke it ourselves during the network half of sync.

This patch does two things for being compatibile with
those Python which are built without threading support:
1. As the Python document and Shawn suggested, import dummy_threading
when the threading is not available.
2. Reserve the single threaded code and make it default.
In cases the --jobs does not work properly with dummy_threading,
we still have a safe fallback.

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.

This bug happens when a project gets added to the manifest, and
then is renamed. Users who happened to have run "repo sync" after
the project was added but before the rename happened will try to
read the data from the old project, as the manifest was only updated
after all projects were updated successfully.
If a line is blank in project.list, its not a relevant project path,
so skip over it. Existing project.list files may have blank lines if
sync was run with no projects at all, and the file was created empty.

After a repo sync, some of the project paths might need
to be removed. This changes maintains a list of project
paths from the previous sync operation and compares.
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.

Its unlikely that a new version of repo will be delivered in any
given day, so we now check only once every 24 hours to see if repo
has been updated. This reduces the sync cost, as we no longer need
to contact the repo distribution servers every time we do a sync.
repo selfupdate can still be used to force a check.
