dump --skip init_setup_repos crashes with no attribute

[Jörg Sommer]

Hello,

I would like to dump the config with all includes as a flat version, but do
not want to checkout the repositories. Trying this I stumbled across this
unexpected error.

```
% cat .config.yaml
header:
version: 11

repos:
bitbake:
url: "https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake"
branch: master
path: "bitbake"

% ./kas-container dump --skip init_setup_repos

```

Is it possible to skip this step?

I also tried to skip all steps, but this does not work:

```
% ./kas-container dump --skip={setup_dir,setup_home,init_setup_repos,repo_setup_loop,finish_setup_repos,repos_checkout,repos_check_signatures,repos_apply_patches,setup_environ,write_bbconfig}

raise RuntimeError("Config has not been imported yet.")
RuntimeError: Config has not been imported yet.
```

How can I dump the flat config without touching the repositories?


Best regards, Jörg

Hi, this is currently not possible du to how the config-merging logic
inside kas is implemented. What we would need is a "run-once" mode,
whereby the SetupReposStep [1] is only executed once and then the dict
is dumped.

This should be straight forward to implement.
