repo v2.10 released

[Mike Frysinger]

There are a lot of random bugfixes, but most notably, we've dropped support for Python 2.  Python 3.4+ is required, and even 3.4 & 3.5 continue to be warned about so we can switch to 3.6+ next year.

NB: Repo will automatically check for & upgrade itself.  There is no need for users to handle this themselves.  This happens once every 24hrs.  If you want to force it locally, run `repo selfupdate`.

Here's the short log since the last release.

Here is the output of versions for python and python3

sounds like a bug in your git system install if it doesn't support cloning https URIs.  please check with your sysadmin.

Turns out, the python version is not compiled with OPENSSL module.

We are still working to get python3 working on Ubuntu 14.04 [ yes, we have a dependency ]
