Manage a machine consumable list of all org repositories

[jayvdb]

c.f. coala/meta#99

The list of repositories should be in a format(s) that other tools use.

https://github.com/vcstools 's rosinstall format is one of the most available, being a apt package on most systems.

I did some very preliminary work on rosinstall at https://github.com/jayvdb/meta/tree/rosinstall/rosinstall , but the first iteration of this should only emit a single file.

Other tools which have a dotfiles like repo list.

GCI Students

Adding core infrastructure to the tool had been done as part of 1st instance of this task. You task now is to add a repo list encoder for one of the formats listed above and fix #29.

Mental note, possibly dotfiles are a feature to be added to https://github.com/guyzmo/git-repo or IGitt

[jayvdb]

Lets add some more formats ;-)

Ideally the second instance of this task also does #29
