Add simple Google repo-like functionality, for dealing with multiple Git
repositories.
The command set is mirrored after Git. All commands except
'list-projects' accept an optional list of projects, and default to all
(cloned) projects.
- west list-projects
Lists projects and their repositories
- west fetch
Clone/fetch projects. Supports 'clone-depth', for making shallow
clones.
- west rebase
Rebase local branches to the revision specified in the manifest
- west pull
'west fetch' + 'west rebase' (similar to 'sync' in Google repo)
- west branch
Create a new branch in one or more repositories (for working on some
issue)
- west checkout
Check out a branch in each repository that has it. Supports a -b
flag for creating the branch first.
- west diff
Run 'git diff' in each repository
- west status
Run 'git status' in reach repository
There's no way to submit a multi-repository change for review yet.
Currently, a convenience branch 'manifest-rev' is created in each
project, which points to the revision specified for the project in the
manifest. 'manifest-rev' is updated by 'west fetch' and 'west pull'.
Local branches created with 'west branch' are set to track
'manifest-rev'. This makes e.g. a plain 'git status' or 'git pull' work
sensibly even when the manifest revision is an SHA.
We'll see if 'manifest-rev' is too magic later. It's explained in the
help texts of all the relevant commands at least.
It might be nicer to create 'manifest-rev' in e.g. refs/remotes instead
of refs/heads. Git doesn't seem to like trying to create a branch that
tracks a branch in refs/remotes unless it's a "proper" upstream branch
though.
