1877101 - Support git repositories in l10n lint

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Infrastructure :: Lint and Formatting, enhancement)

Description

[Eemeli Aro [:eemeli]]

As the localization repositories are migrating to git, l10n lint will need to also support git and not only hg repos.

Adds a CLI option --l10n-git that uses the firefox-l10n-source git repo instead of the gecko-strings hg repo when linting localization files.

When we complete the migration, the option and mercurial repo support should be removed.

Rob, note that the eventual default switch to git (probably as bug 1877100) may require you to inline strings_repo_setup() in your l10n_lint.py. To play it safe, you could do that already.

As l10n_lint.py is the only user of mozversioncontrol.repoupdate, we should also consider whether it makes sense to keep that as a generic thing, or inline it in the script.
