initial repo-2 development has opened (Python 3 plans)

[Mike Frysinger]

i've snapped off the repo-1.x series using the new repo-1 branch and switched the master branch over to the start of the repo-2 series.

https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/+log/refs/heads/repo-1

the current mid-term plans look like:

- repo will try to run itself through a new enough python3 version

- if python3 cannot be found, repo will warn the user that python2.7 is no longer supported

- we'll keep the existing python2-compat logic in place

- we'll ship a few releases like this

- hopefully by mid-2020, we'll start deleting Python 2 support and have repo-2 require Python 3.6+

the last point is subject to feedback, but we won't be carrying this into 2021.

the existing Python 3 plan can be found here for reference:

@Dear Mike Frysinger

https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/+/refs/heads/master/docs/python-support.md

Python 3.6 (released Dec 2016) is required by default starting with repo-2.x.

whether could repo-2 backport python3.5 support ???

because our large android team developer use ubuntu 16.04 LTS that is default python 3.5

in fact, upgrade linux system python version is realy difficult
