Build failures due to git bundle not supported by repo tool itself

[vishal]

repo init failing in all the daily builds:
Fails with following error:

How to reproduce locally:

$ REPO_TRACE=1 repo init -u http://android.git.linaro.org/git-ro/platform/manifest.git -b linaro_android_4.2.2 -m default.xml --repo-url=http://android.git.linaro.org/git-ro/tools/repo
Get http://android.git.linaro.org/git-ro/tools/repo/clone.bundle

fatal: branch 'stable' has not been signed

[Paul Sokolovsky (pfalcon)]

Based on the above, it seems that it's somehow related to (supposedly recently) added on our side repo's clone.bundle support. I confirmed that to be the case by patching repo to disable bundle fetch, it then doesn't throw the error.

Involving Stevan, who worked on implementing bundle support.

Also, trying w/o our mirror (i.e. using official AOSP repo):

$ REPO_TRACE=1 repo init -u http://android.git.linaro.org/git-ro/platform/manifest.git -b linaro_android_4.2.2 -m default.xml
Get https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo
remote: Counting objects: 101, done
remote: Finding sources: 100% (101/101)
remote: Total 2448 (delta 1432), reused 2448 (delta 1432)

As can be see here, AOSP itself doesn't use bundle specifically for repo, but rather clones it directly from git.

So, maybe skipping creation of bundle for repo will be proper fix on our side either.

[Paul Sokolovsky (pfalcon)]

It was confirmed that AOSP tree doesn't have bundle for tools/repo . I manually removed bundle in our tree to get builds going.

Stevan was working on deploying changes to /srv/gerrit/linaro/git/scripts/create-clone-bundles.sh to skip tools/repo .

I see the change live on android.git.l.o . Leaving open until Monday to confirm all's ok (bundles are created on Sundays).
