Mike Frysinger 3645bd2420 docs: document git/python/Ubuntu/Debian release schedules
Going purely on upstream package release cycles doesn't tell the whole
story: a lot of people run LTS distros which will have older versions
of software we want to support.

Build out a table for us to quickly reference when making decisions as
to what versions of git/python we want to support, and when we can drop
them.  This will also help to refer users to as why we made a specific
decision that might be affecting them.

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
