Guys, Be aware if your doing mirror's this may break some stuff!

Tou can already see the syntax in "repo help init" but it hasn't been hooked up yet. That'd be "repo init -p all". In theory, we could make "--mirror" imply "-p all" but I'm not sure that I like such interplay between command-line options.
