repo hangs if an empty bundle file exists #101

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
W/in chrome-os, we don't use clone.bundle currently.  If you ctrl+c at just the 
right time (best I can tell, during repo selfupdate itself) it'll result in 
repo leaving behind a zero length clone.bundle file.

All later Sync_NetworkHalf invocations will spot this file, and try to invoke 
`git fetch empty-bundle`; git (at least versions 1.7.8.{1,2}) will go into an 
infinite loop trying to read it and failing, leaving the user to either find 
that file and remove it, or do a checkout from scratch.

While that misbehavior needs fixing in git, we shouldn't be creating those 
files anyways in repo, as such add protection code that detects it and cleans 
it.
