+if no project has the branch checked out.
+.PP
+The second column contains either blank, p or P, depending upon
+the upload status of the branch.
+.IP
+(blank): branch not yet published by repo upload
+.IP
+P: all commits were published by repo upload
+p: only some commits were published by repo upload
+.PP
+The third column contains the branch name.
+.PP
+The fourth column (after the | separator) lists the projects that
+the branch appears in, or does not appear in.  If no project list

+.SH DETAILS
+.PP
+The repo diffmanifests command shows differences between project revisions of
+manifest1 and manifest2. if manifest2 is not specified, current manifest.xml
+will be used instead. Both absolute and relative paths may be used for
+manifests. Relative paths start from project's ".repo/manifests" folder.
+.PP
+The \fB\-\-raw\fR option Displays the diff in a way that facilitates parsing, the
+project pattern will be <status> <path> <revision from> [<revision to>] and the
+commit pattern will be <status> <onelined log> with status values respectively :
+.IP
+A = Added project
+R = Removed project
+C = Changed project
+U = Project with unreachable revision(s) (revision(s) not found)
+.PP
+for project, and
+.IP
+A = Added commit
+R = Removed commit
+.PP
+for a commit.
+.PP
+Only changed projects may contain commits, and commit status always starts with
+a space, and are part of last printed project. Unreachable revisions may occur
+if project is not up to date or if repo has not been initialized with all the
+groups, in which case some projects won't be synced and their revisions won't be
+found.

+.SH DETAILS
+.PP
+Executes the same shell command in each project.
+.PP
+The \fB\-r\fR option allows running the command only on projects matching regex or
+wildcard expression.
+.PP
+By default, projects are processed non\-interactively in parallel. If you want to
+run interactive commands, make sure to pass \fB\-\-interactive\fR to force \fB\-\-jobs\fR 1.
+While the processing order of projects is not guaranteed, the order of project
+output is stable.
+.PP
+Output Formatting
+.PP
+The \fB\-p\fR option causes 'repo forall' to bind pipes to the command's stdin, stdout
+and stderr streams, and pipe all output into a continuous stream that is
+displayed in a single pager session. Project headings are inserted before the
+output of each command is displayed. If the command produces no output in a
+project, no heading is displayed.
+.PP
+The formatting convention used by \fB\-p\fR is very suitable for some types of
+searching, e.g. `repo forall \fB\-p\fR \fB\-c\fR git log \fB\-SFoo\fR` will print all commits that
+add or remove references to Foo.
+.PP
+The \fB\-v\fR option causes 'repo forall' to display stderr messages if a command
+produces output only on stderr. Normally the \fB\-p\fR option causes command output to
+be suppressed until the command produces at least one byte of output on stdout.
+.PP
+Environment
+.PP
+pwd is the project's working directory. If the current client is a mirror
+client, then pwd is the Git repository.
+.PP
+REPO_PROJECT is set to the unique name of the project.
+.PP
+REPO_PATH is the path relative the the root of the client.
+.PP
+REPO_REMOTE is the name of the remote system from the manifest.
+.PP
+REPO_LREV is the name of the revision from the manifest, translated to a local
+tracking branch. If you need to pass the manifest revision to a locally executed
+git command, use REPO_LREV.
+.PP
+REPO_RREV is the name of the revision from the manifest, exactly as written in
+the manifest.
+.PP
+REPO_COUNT is the total number of projects being iterated.
+.PP
+REPO_I is the current (1\-based) iteration count. Can be used in conjunction with
+REPO_COUNT to add a simple progress indicator to your command.
+.PP
+REPO__* are any extra environment variables, specified by the "annotation"
+element under any project element. This can be useful for differentiating trees
+based on user\-specific criteria, or simply annotating tree details.
+.PP
+shell positional arguments ($1, $2, .., $#) are set to any arguments following
+<command>.
+.PP
+Example: to list projects:
+.IP
+repo forall \fB\-c\fR 'echo $REPO_PROJECT'
+.PP
+Notice that $REPO_PROJECT is quoted to ensure it is expanded in the context of
+running <command> instead of in the calling shell.
+.PP
+Unless \fB\-p\fR is used, stdin, stdout, stderr are inherited from the terminal and are
+not redirected.
+.PP
+If \fB\-e\fR is used, when a command exits unsuccessfully, 'repo forall' will abort
+without iterating through the remaining projects.

+.SH DETAILS
+.PP
+The 'repo init' command is run once to install and initialize repo. The latest
+repo source code and manifest collection is downloaded from the server and is
+installed in the .repo/ directory in the current working directory.
+.PP
+When creating a new checkout, the manifest URL is the only required setting. It
+may be specified using the \fB\-\-manifest\-url\fR option, or as the first optional
+argument.
+.PP
+The optional \fB\-b\fR argument can be used to select the manifest branch to checkout
+and use. If no branch is specified, the remote's default branch is used. This is
+equivalent to using \fB\-b\fR HEAD.
+.PP
+The optional \fB\-m\fR argument can be used to specify an alternate manifest to be
+used. If no manifest is specified, the manifest default.xml will be used.
+.PP
+If the \fB\-\-standalone\-manifest\fR argument is set, the manifest will be downloaded
+directly from the specified \fB\-\-manifest\-url\fR as a static file (rather than setting
+up a manifest git checkout). With \fB\-\-standalone\-manifest\fR, the manifest will be
+fully static and will not be re\-downloaded during subsesquent `repo init` and
+`repo sync` calls.
+.PP
+The \fB\-\-reference\fR option can be used to point to a directory that has the content
+of a \fB\-\-mirror\fR sync. This will make the working directory use as much data as
+possible from the local reference directory when fetching from the server. This
+will make the sync go a lot faster by reducing data traffic on the network.
+.PP
+The \fB\-\-dissociate\fR option can be used to borrow the objects from the directory
+specified with the \fB\-\-reference\fR option only to reduce network transfer, and stop
+borrowing from them after a first clone is made by making necessary local copies
+of borrowed objects.
+.PP
+The \fB\-\-no\-clone\-bundle\fR option disables any attempt to use \fI\,$URL/clone.bundle\/\fP to
+bootstrap a new Git repository from a resumeable bundle file on a content
+delivery network. This may be necessary if there are problems with the local
+Python HTTP client or proxy configuration, but the Git binary works.
+.PP
+Switching Manifest Branches
+.PP
+To switch to another manifest branch, `repo init \fB\-b\fR otherbranch` may be used in
+an existing client. However, as this only updates the manifest, a subsequent
+`repo sync` (or `repo sync \fB\-d\fR`) is necessary to update the working directory
+files.

+.SH DETAILS
+.PP
+With the \fB\-o\fR option, exports the current manifest for inspection. The manifest
+and (if present) local_manifests/ are combined together to produce a single
+manifest file. This file can be stored in a Git repository for use during future
+\&'repo init' invocations.
+.PP
+The \fB\-r\fR option can be used to generate a manifest file with project revisions set
+to the current commit hash. These are known as "revision locked manifests", as
+they don't follow a particular branch. In this case, the 'upstream' attribute is
+set to the ref we were on when the manifest was generated. The 'dest\-branch'
+attribute is set to indicate the remote ref to push changes to via 'repo
+upload'.
+.PP
+repo Manifest Format
+.PP
+A repo manifest describes the structure of a repo client; that is the
+directories that are visible and where they should be obtained from with git.
+.PP
+The basic structure of a manifest is a bare Git repository holding a single
+`default.xml` XML file in the top level directory.
+.PP
+Manifests are inherently version controlled, since they are kept within a Git
+repository. Updates to manifests are automatically obtained by clients during
+`repo sync`.
+.PP
+[TOC]
+.PP
+XML File Format
+.PP
+A manifest XML file (e.g. `default.xml`) roughly conforms to the following DTD:
+.PP
+```xml <!DOCTYPE manifest [

+]>
+```
+.PP
+For compatibility purposes across repo releases, all unknown elements are
+silently ignored. However, repo reserves all possible names for itself for
+future use. If you want to use custom elements, the `x\-*` namespace is reserved
+for that purpose, and repo guarantees to never allocate any corresponding names.
+.PP
+A description of the elements and their attributes follows.
+.PP
+Element manifest
+.PP
+The root element of the file.
+.PP
+Element notice
+.PP
+Arbitrary text that is displayed to users whenever `repo sync` finishes. The
+content is simply passed through as it exists in the manifest.
+.PP
+Element remote
+.PP
+One or more remote elements may be specified. Each remote element specifies a
+Git URL shared by one or more projects and (optionally) the Gerrit review server
+those projects upload changes through.
+.PP
+Attribute `name`: A short name unique to this manifest file. The name specified
+here is used as the remote name in each project's .git/config, and is therefore
+automatically available to commands like `git fetch`, `git remote`, `git pull`
+and `git push`.
+.PP
+Attribute `alias`: The alias, if specified, is used to override `name` to be set
+as the remote name in each project's .git/config. Its value can be duplicated
+while attribute `name` has to be unique in the manifest file. This helps each
+project to be able to have same remote name which actually points to different
+remote url.
+.PP
+Attribute `fetch`: The Git URL prefix for all projects which use this remote.
+Each project's name is appended to this prefix to form the actual URL used to
+clone the project.
+.PP
+Attribute `pushurl`: The Git "push" URL prefix for all projects which use this
+remote. Each project's name is appended to this prefix to form the actual URL
+used to "git push" the project. This attribute is optional; if not specified
+then "git push" will use the same URL as the `fetch` attribute.
+.PP
+Attribute `review`: Hostname of the Gerrit server where reviews are uploaded to
+by `repo upload`. This attribute is optional; if not specified then `repo
+upload` will not function.
+.PP
+Attribute `revision`: Name of a Git branch (e.g. `main` or `refs/heads/main`).
+Remotes with their own revision will override the default revision.
+.PP
+Element default
+.PP
+At most one default element may be specified. Its remote and revision attributes
+are used when a project element does not specify its own remote or revision
+attribute.
+.PP
+Attribute `remote`: Name of a previously defined remote element. Project
+elements lacking a remote attribute of their own will use this remote.
+.PP
+Attribute `revision`: Name of a Git branch (e.g. `main` or `refs/heads/main`).
+Project elements lacking their own revision attribute will use this revision.
+.PP
+Attribute `dest\-branch`: Name of a Git branch (e.g. `main`). Project elements
+not setting their own `dest\-branch` will inherit this value. If this value is
+not set, projects will use `revision` by default instead.
+.PP
+Attribute `upstream`: Name of the Git ref in which a sha1 can be found. Used
+when syncing a revision locked manifest in \fB\-c\fR mode to avoid having to sync the
+entire ref space. Project elements not setting their own `upstream` will inherit
+this value.
+.PP
+Attribute `sync\-j`: Number of parallel jobs to use when synching.
+.PP
+Attribute `sync\-c`: Set to true to only sync the given Git branch (specified in
+the `revision` attribute) rather than the whole ref space. Project elements
+lacking a sync\-c element of their own will use this value.
+.PP
+Attribute `sync\-s`: Set to true to also sync sub\-projects.
+.PP
+Attribute `sync\-tags`: Set to false to only sync the given Git branch (specified
+in the `revision` attribute) rather than the other ref tags.
+.PP
+Element manifest\-server
+.PP
+At most one manifest\-server may be specified. The url attribute is used to
+specify the URL of a manifest server, which is an XML RPC service.
+.PP
+The manifest server should implement the following RPC methods:
+.IP
+GetApprovedManifest(branch, target)
+.PP
+Return a manifest in which each project is pegged to a known good revision for
+the current branch and target. This is used by repo sync when the \fB\-\-smart\-sync\fR
+option is given.
+.PP
+The target to use is defined by environment variables TARGET_PRODUCT and
+TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT. These variables are used to create a string of the form
+$TARGET_PRODUCT\-$TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT, e.g. passion\-userdebug. If one of those
+variables or both are not present, the program will call GetApprovedManifest
+without the target parameter and the manifest server should choose a reasonable
+default target.
+.IP
+GetManifest(tag)
+.PP
+Return a manifest in which each project is pegged to the revision at the
+specified tag. This is used by repo sync when the \fB\-\-smart\-tag\fR option is given.
+.PP
+Element project
+.PP
+One or more project elements may be specified. Each element describes a single
+Git repository to be cloned into the repo client workspace. You may specify
+Git\-submodules by creating a nested project. Git\-submodules will be
+automatically recognized and inherit their parent's attributes, but those may be
+overridden by an explicitly specified project element.
+.PP
+Attribute `name`: A unique name for this project. The project's name is appended
+onto its remote's fetch URL to generate the actual URL to configure the Git
+remote with. The URL gets formed as:
+.IP
+${remote_fetch}/${project_name}.git
+.PP
+where ${remote_fetch} is the remote's fetch attribute and ${project_name} is the
+project's name attribute. The suffix ".git" is always appended as repo assumes
+the upstream is a forest of bare Git repositories. If the project has a parent
+element, its name will be prefixed by the parent's.
+.PP
+The project name must match the name Gerrit knows, if Gerrit is being used for
+code reviews.
+.PP
+"name" must not be empty, and may not be an absolute path or use "." or ".."
+path components. It is always interpreted relative to the remote's fetch
+settings, so if a different base path is needed, declare a different remote with
+the new settings needed. These restrictions are not enforced for [Local
+Manifests].
+.PP
+Attribute `path`: An optional path relative to the top directory of the repo
+client where the Git working directory for this project should be placed. If not
+supplied the project "name" is used. If the project has a parent element, its
+path will be prefixed by the parent's.
+.PP
+"path" may not be an absolute path or use "." or ".." path components. These
+restrictions are not enforced for [Local Manifests].
+.PP
+If you want to place files into the root of the checkout (e.g. a README or
+Makefile or another build script), use the [copyfile] or [linkfile] elements
+instead.
+.PP
+Attribute `remote`: Name of a previously defined remote element. If not supplied
+the remote given by the default element is used.
+.PP
+Attribute `revision`: Name of the Git branch the manifest wants to track for
+this project. Names can be relative to refs/heads (e.g. just "main") or absolute
+(e.g. "refs/heads/main"). Tags and/or explicit SHA\-1s should work in theory, but
+have not been extensively tested. If not supplied the revision given by the
+remote element is used if applicable, else the default element is used.
+.PP
+Attribute `dest\-branch`: Name of a Git branch (e.g. `main`). When using `repo
+upload`, changes will be submitted for code review on this branch. If
+unspecified both here and in the default element, `revision` is used instead.
+.PP
+Attribute `groups`: List of groups to which this project belongs, whitespace or
+comma separated. All projects belong to the group "all", and each project
+automatically belongs to a group of its name:`name` and path:`path`. E.g. for
+`<project name="monkeys" path="barrel\-of"/>`, that project definition is
+implicitly in the following manifest groups: default, name:monkeys, and
+path:barrel\-of. If you place a project in the group "notdefault", it will not be
+automatically downloaded by repo. If the project has a parent element, the
+`name` and `path` here are the prefixed ones.
+.PP
+Attribute `sync\-c`: Set to true to only sync the given Git branch (specified in
+the `revision` attribute) rather than the whole ref space.
+.PP
+Attribute `sync\-s`: Set to true to also sync sub\-projects.
+.PP
+Attribute `upstream`: Name of the Git ref in which a sha1 can be found. Used
+when syncing a revision locked manifest in \fB\-c\fR mode to avoid having to sync the
+entire ref space.
+.PP
+Attribute `clone\-depth`: Set the depth to use when fetching this project. If
+specified, this value will override any value given to repo init with the
+\fB\-\-depth\fR option on the command line.
+.PP
+Attribute `force\-path`: Set to true to force this project to create the local
+mirror repository according to its `path` attribute (if supplied) rather than
+the `name` attribute. This attribute only applies to the local mirrors syncing,
+it will be ignored when syncing the projects in a client working directory.
+.PP
+Element extend\-project
+.PP
+Modify the attributes of the named project.
+.PP
+This element is mostly useful in a local manifest file, to modify the attributes
+of an existing project without completely replacing the existing project
+definition. This makes the local manifest more robust against changes to the
+original manifest.
+.PP
+Attribute `path`: If specified, limit the change to projects checked out at the
+specified path, rather than all projects with the given name.
+.PP
+Attribute `groups`: List of additional groups to which this project belongs.
+Same syntax as the corresponding element of `project`.
+.PP
+Attribute `revision`: If specified, overrides the revision of the original
+project. Same syntax as the corresponding element of `project`.
+.PP
+Attribute `remote`: If specified, overrides the remote of the original project.
+Same syntax as the corresponding element of `project`.
+.PP
+Element annotation
+.PP
+Zero or more annotation elements may be specified as children of a project or
+remote element. Each element describes a name\-value pair. For projects, this
+name\-value pair will be exported into each project's environment during a
+\&'forall' command, prefixed with `REPO__`. In addition, there is an optional
+attribute "keep" which accepts the case insensitive values "true" (default) or
+"false". This attribute determines whether or not the annotation will be kept
+when exported with the manifest subcommand.
+.PP
+Element copyfile
+.PP
+Zero or more copyfile elements may be specified as children of a project
+element. Each element describes a src\-dest pair of files; the "src" file will be
+copied to the "dest" place during `repo sync` command.
+.PP
+"src" is project relative, "dest" is relative to the top of the tree. Copying
+from paths outside of the project or to paths outside of the repo client is not
+allowed.
+.PP
+"src" and "dest" must be files. Directories or symlinks are not allowed.
+Intermediate paths must not be symlinks either.
+.PP
+Parent directories of "dest" will be automatically created if missing.
+.PP
+Element linkfile
+.PP
+It's just like copyfile and runs at the same time as copyfile but instead of
+copying it creates a symlink.
+.PP
+The symlink is created at "dest" (relative to the top of the tree) and points to
+the path specified by "src" which is a path in the project.
+.PP
+Parent directories of "dest" will be automatically created if missing.
+.PP
+The symlink target may be a file or directory, but it may not point outside of
+the repo client.
+.PP
+Element remove\-project
+.PP
+Deletes the named project from the internal manifest table, possibly allowing a
+subsequent project element in the same manifest file to replace the project with
+a different source.
+.PP
+This element is mostly useful in a local manifest file, where the user can
+remove a project, and possibly replace it with their own definition.
+.PP
+Attribute `optional`: Set to true to ignore remove\-project elements with no
+matching `project` element.
+.PP
+Element repo\-hooks
+.PP
+NB: See the [practical documentation](./repo\-hooks.md) for using repo hooks.
+.PP
+Only one repo\-hooks element may be specified at a time. Attempting to redefine
+it will fail to parse.
+.PP
+Attribute `in\-project`: The project where the hooks are defined. The value must
+match the `name` attribute (**not** the `path` attribute) of a previously
+defined `project` element.
+.PP
+Attribute `enabled\-list`: List of hooks to use, whitespace or comma separated.
+.PP
+Element superproject
+.PP
+*** *Note*: This is currently a WIP. ***
+.PP
+NB: See the [git superprojects documentation](
+https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Git/Submodules_and_Superprojects) for background
+information.
+.PP
+This element is used to specify the URL of the superproject. It has "name" and
+"remote" as atrributes. Only "name" is required while the others have reasonable
+defaults. At most one superproject may be specified. Attempting to redefine it
+will fail to parse.
+.PP
+Attribute `name`: A unique name for the superproject. This attribute has the
+same meaning as project's name attribute. See the [element
+project](#element\-project) for more information.
+.PP
+Attribute `remote`: Name of a previously defined remote element. If not supplied
+the remote given by the default element is used.
+.PP
+Element contactinfo
+.PP
+*** *Note*: This is currently a WIP. ***
+.PP
+This element is used to let manifest authors self\-register contact info. It has
+"bugurl" as a required atrribute. This element can be repeated, and any later
+entries will clobber earlier ones. This would allow manifest authors who extend
+manifests to specify their own contact info.
+.PP
+Attribute `bugurl`: The URL to file a bug against the manifest owner.
+.PP
+Element include
+.PP
+This element provides the capability of including another manifest file into the
+originating manifest. Normal rules apply for the target manifest to include \- it
+must be a usable manifest on its own.
+.PP
+Attribute `name`: the manifest to include, specified relative to the manifest
+repository's root.
+.PP
+"name" may not be an absolute path or use "." or ".." path components. These
+restrictions are not enforced for [Local Manifests].
+.PP
+Attribute `groups`: List of additional groups to which all projects in the
+included manifest belong. This appends and recurses, meaning all projects in
+sub\-manifests carry all parent include groups. Same syntax as the corresponding
+element of `project`.
+.PP
+Local Manifests
+.PP
+Additional remotes and projects may be added through local manifest files stored
+in `$TOP_DIR/.repo/local_manifests/*.xml`.
+.PP
+For example:
+.IP
+\f(CW$ ls .repo/local_manifests\fR
+.IP
+local_manifest.xml
+another_local_manifest.xml
+.IP
+\f(CW$ cat .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml\fR
+.IP
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF\-8"?>

+<project path="manifest"
+.IP
+name="tools/manifest" />
+.IP
+<project path="platform\-manifest"
+.IP
+name="platform/manifest" />
+.IP
+</manifest>
+.PP
+Users may add projects to the local manifest(s) prior to a `repo sync`
+invocation, instructing repo to automatically download and manage these extra
+projects.
+.PP
+Manifest files stored in `$TOP_DIR/.repo/local_manifests/*.xml` will be loaded
+in alphabetical order.
+.PP
+Projects from local manifest files are added into local::<local manifest
+filename> group.
+.PP
+The legacy `$TOP_DIR/.repo/local_manifest.xml` path is no longer supported.

+.PP
+The 'repo sync' command synchronizes local project directories with the remote
+repositories specified in the manifest. If a local project does not yet exist,
+it will clone a new local directory from the remote repository and set up
+tracking branches as specified in the manifest. If the local project already
+exists, 'repo sync' will update the remote branches and rebase any new local
+changes on top of the new remote changes.
+.PP
+\&'repo sync' will synchronize all projects listed at the command line. Projects
+can be specified either by name, or by a relative or absolute path to the
+project's local directory. If no projects are specified, 'repo sync' will
+synchronize all projects listed in the manifest.
+.PP
+The \fB\-d\fR/\-\-detach option can be used to switch specified projects back to the
+manifest revision. This option is especially helpful if the project is currently
+on a topic branch, but the manifest revision is temporarily needed.
+.PP
+The \fB\-s\fR/\-\-smart\-sync option can be used to sync to a known good build as
+specified by the manifest\-server element in the current manifest. The
+\fB\-t\fR/\-\-smart\-tag option is similar and allows you to specify a custom tag/label.
+.PP
+The \fB\-u\fR/\-\-manifest\-server\-username and \fB\-p\fR/\-\-manifest\-server\-password options can
+be used to specify a username and password to authenticate with the manifest
+server when using the \fB\-s\fR or \fB\-t\fR option.
+.PP
+If \fB\-u\fR and \fB\-p\fR are not specified when using the \fB\-s\fR or \fB\-t\fR option, 'repo sync' will
+attempt to read authentication credentials for the manifest server from the
+user's .netrc file.
+.PP
+\&'repo sync' will not use authentication credentials from \fB\-u\fR/\-p or .netrc if the
+manifest server specified in the manifest file already includes credentials.
+.PP
+By default, all projects will be synced. The \fB\-\-fail\-fast\fR option can be used to
+halt syncing as soon as possible when the first project fails to sync.
+.PP
+The \fB\-\-force\-sync\fR option can be used to overwrite existing git directories if
+they have previously been linked to a different object directory. WARNING: This
+may cause data to be lost since refs may be removed when overwriting.
+.PP
+The \fB\-\-force\-remove\-dirty\fR option can be used to remove previously used projects
+with uncommitted changes. WARNING: This may cause data to be lost since
+uncommitted changes may be removed with projects that no longer exist in the
+manifest.
+.PP
+The \fB\-\-no\-clone\-bundle\fR option disables any attempt to use \fI\,$URL/clone.bundle\/\fP to
+bootstrap a new Git repository from a resumeable bundle file on a content
+delivery network. This may be necessary if there are problems with the local
+Python HTTP client or proxy configuration, but the Git binary works.
+.PP
+The \fB\-\-fetch\-submodules\fR option enables fetching Git submodules of a project from
+server.
+.PP
+The \fB\-c\fR/\-\-current\-branch option can be used to only fetch objects that are on the
+branch specified by a project's revision.
+.PP
+The \fB\-\-optimized\-fetch\fR option can be used to only fetch projects that are fixed
+to a sha1 revision if the sha1 revision does not already exist locally.
+.PP
+The \fB\-\-prune\fR option can be used to remove any refs that no longer exist on the
+remote.
+.PP
+SSH Connections
+.PP
+If at least one project remote URL uses an SSH connection (ssh://, git+ssh://,
+or user@host:path syntax) repo will automatically enable the SSH ControlMaster
+option when connecting to that host. This feature permits other projects in the
+same 'repo sync' session to reuse the same SSH tunnel, saving connection setup
+overheads.
+.PP
+To disable this behavior on UNIX platforms, set the GIT_SSH environment variable
+to 'ssh'. For example:
+.IP
+export GIT_SSH=ssh
+repo sync
+.PP
+Compatibility
+.PP
+This feature is automatically disabled on Windows, due to the lack of UNIX
+domain socket support.
+.PP
+This feature is not compatible with url.insteadof rewrites in the user's
+~/.gitconfig. 'repo sync' is currently not able to perform the rewrite early
+enough to establish the ControlMaster tunnel.
+.PP
+If the remote SSH daemon is Gerrit Code Review, version 2.0.10 or later is
+required to fix a server side protocol bug.

+.SH DETAILS
+.PP
+The 'repo upload' command is used to send changes to the Gerrit Code Review
+system. It searches for topic branches in local projects that have not yet been
+published for review. If multiple topic branches are found, 'repo upload' opens
+an editor to allow the user to select which branches to upload.
+.PP
+\&'repo upload' searches for uploadable changes in all projects listed at the
+command line. Projects can be specified either by name, or by a relative or
+absolute path to the project's local directory. If no projects are specified,
+\&'repo upload' will search for uploadable changes in all projects listed in the
+manifest.
+.PP
+If the \fB\-\-reviewers\fR or \fB\-\-cc\fR options are passed, those emails are added to the
+respective list of users, and emails are sent to any new users. Users passed as
+\fB\-\-reviewers\fR must already be registered with the code review system, or the
+upload will fail.
+.PP
+Configuration
+.PP
+review.URL.autoupload:
+.PP
+To disable the "Upload ... (y/N)?" prompt, you can set a per\-project or global
+Git configuration option. If review.URL.autoupload is set to "true" then repo
+will assume you always answer "y" at the prompt, and will not prompt you
+further. If it is set to "false" then repo will assume you always answer "n",
+and will abort.
+.PP
+review.URL.autoreviewer:
+.PP
+To automatically append a user or mailing list to reviews, you can set a
+per\-project or global Git option to do so.
+.PP
+review.URL.autocopy:
+.PP
+To automatically copy a user or mailing list to all uploaded reviews, you can
+set a per\-project or global Git option to do so. Specifically,
+review.URL.autocopy can be set to a comma separated list of reviewers who you
+always want copied on all uploads with a non\-empty \fB\-\-re\fR argument.
+.PP
+review.URL.username:
+.PP
+Override the username used to connect to Gerrit Code Review. By default the
+local part of the email address is used.
+.PP
+The URL must match the review URL listed in the manifest XML file, or in the
+\&.git/config within the project. For example:
+.IP
+[remote "origin"]
+.IP
+url = git://git.example.com/project.git
+review = http://review.example.com/
+.IP
+[review "http://review.example.com/"]
+.IP
+autoupload = true
+autocopy = johndoe@company.com,my\-team\-alias@company.com
+.PP
+review.URL.uploadtopic:
+.PP
+To add a topic branch whenever uploading a commit, you can set a per\-project or
+global Git option to do so. If review.URL.uploadtopic is set to "true" then repo
+will assume you always want the equivalent of the \fB\-t\fR option to the repo command.
+If unset or set to "false" then repo will make use of only the command line
+option.
+.PP
+review.URL.uploadhashtags:
+.PP
+To add hashtags whenever uploading a commit, you can set a per\-project or global
+Git option to do so. The value of review.URL.uploadhashtags will be used as
+comma delimited hashtags like the \fB\-\-hashtag\fR option.
+.PP
+review.URL.uploadlabels:
+.PP
+To add labels whenever uploading a commit, you can set a per\-project or global
+Git option to do so. The value of review.URL.uploadlabels will be used as comma
+delimited labels like the \fB\-\-label\fR option.
+.PP
+review.URL.uploadnotify:
+.PP
+Control e\-mail notifications when uploading.
