Reimplement support for
newt upgrade <repo1> <repo2>...
. Not specifying repos upgrades everything; specifying repos update only the ones given, without upgrading/installing its dependencies, etc.This should allow advanced users to install only what is required, eg. if developing an app for nrf52x one could simply run:
newt upgrade --depth=1 apache-mynewt-core apache-mynewt-nimble nordic-nrfx
This is also useful for CI, eg, for MCUboot it's possible to use MCUboot as the root project and run:
newt upgrade --depth=1 apache-mynewt-core nordic-nrfx mbedtls
And this brings down the complete download from 1GB to just around 250MB.
