In order to bisect for regression we need to look at changes of other
repositories at the same time. Git commit time is not a reliable source of
information, but in average people tend to have not-so-bad clocks.
The proposal of this bug is to add a way to synchronize other repository to the
checked-out commit of one repository, such as one will do a bisect on one
repository and synchronized other repository at the "same" time.
What I am suggesting is something like:
$ ./repo sync --repo-data=bisect-repo /bisect-repo
where we synchronize all repositories except bisect-repo ( /bisect-repo ) on
the commit time of the checked out commit of bisect-repo (
--repo-date=bisect-repo ).
Omitting the excluded repository cause the bisect-repo to be updated too, which
would be fine if a linear commit time is kept on the repositories, but might
cause a different version to be checked out otherwise.
