repo v2.61

[Gavin Mak]

Hi all,

repo v2.61 has been released: https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/+/refs/tags/v2.61. I plan to promote it to stable Monday 1/12.

v2.61 switches the `repo init` default manifest depth to 1 and disables all git auto-GC for depth=1 projects to avoid slow syncs.

Changelog (link):

repo v2.61.1 is now available: https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/+/refs/tags/v2.61.1. I plan to promote it to stable tomorrow 1/29.

This release reverts the default `--manifest-depth=1` change introduced in v2.61 due to sync failures in some environments. It also includes a fix for `extend-project` incorrectly inheriting local groups.
