[gentoo-portage-dev] [PATCH v2] repoman: declare '-x', '--xmlparse' command line options obsolete

[Göktürk Yüksek]

Repoman pulls in lxml unconditionally now and performs metadata checks
by default. This behavior makes these command line options obsolete
since forcing the default makes little sense. Declare them obsolete
instead of removing them for backwards compatibility.
