Improve repo sync performance by avoid git forks

By resolving the current HEAD and the manifest revision using pure
Python, we can in the common case of "no changes" avoid a lot of
git operations and directly jump out of the local sync method.

This reduces the no-op `repo sync -l` time for Android's 114 projects
from more than 6s to under 0.8s.
