Description Michał Górny archtester

It looks that 'repoman manifest' calls git. I have no clue what for, but the result is that generating Manifests is really slow with big git repos.

It calls git to find out if any files are modified, but we can make it skip that if --if-modified=y is not enabled.

Current git. I blame the repoman rewrite.

yes, It was a rewrite regression.
