From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The 'git job-runner' command was introduced with a '--repo=<path>'
option so a user could start a process with an explicit list of
repos. However, it is more likely that we will want 'git
job-runner' to start without any arguments and discover the set of
repos from another source.
A natural source is the Git config. The 'git job-runner' does not
need to run in a Git repository, but the config could be located in
the global or system config.
Create the job.repo config setting as a multi-valued config option.
Read all values for job.repo whenever triggering an iteration of
the job loop. This allows a user to add or remove repos dynamically
without restarting the job-runner.
