When trying to read log output from many projects at once it can
be difficult to make sense of which messages came from where.
For many professional developers it is common to want to view the
last week's worth of your work, so you can write a weekly summary
of your activity for your status report.
This is easier with the new -p option:
repo forall -pc git log --reverse --since=1.week.ago --author=sop
produces a report of all commits written by me in the last week,
formatted in a paged output display, with headers inserted in
front of each project's output.
Where this can be even more useful is with git log's pickaxe,
e.g. now we can use:
repo forall -pc git log -Sbar v1.0..v1.1
to locate all additions or removals of the symbol 'bar' since v1.0,
up to and including v1.1. Before displaying the matching commits in
a project, a project header is shown, giving the user some context
information for the matching results.

If a client was created with "repo init --mirror" then there are
no working directories present, and no files checked out. Using
a command like "repo status" in this context makes no sense, and
actually throws back a Pytyon traceback at the console when the
underlying commands fail out.
We now tag commands with the MirrorSafeCommand type if they are
able to be executed within a mirror directory safely. Using a
command in a mirror which lacks this base class results in a
useful error letting you know the command isn't supported.
