add 'group' sub-command

My case is more like issue 71

We have two big projects, "Client" and "Server", where some repos are shared. It is like:

client-repo
client-plugin1-repo
client-plugin2-repo
client-lib-repo
common-lib-repo

server-repo
server-plugin1-repo
server-lib-repo
common-lib-repo

In this case, git ll might not easily present the relationships, I'd prefer something like:

gita group client client-repo client-plugin1-repo ...
gita group server server-repo server-plugin1-repo ...
gita ll client

[nosarthur]

I am thinking of adding an optional argument to gita ll such that gita ll 1 only show repos from group 1

[nosarthur]

Maybe it's better to add both group and setgroup. And keep the ll command as it is

After gita setgroup 1, only group 1 repos will show. And use gita setgroup to unset

[nosarthur]

interesting, I haven't thought about one repo belonging to multiple groups before, but it definitely makes sense.

👍 on this! I would think of them as tags, so I might have something like an @work and @personal tags... and I might have tags for @ruby and @js.

[nosarthur]

Yeah, tagging makes sense too. I haven't decided on what to do exactly yet...

[nosarthur]

Maybe something like this

gita group a-repo b-repo <br>
> group name? frontend
gita group a-repo c-repo <br>
> group name? secret

Here the user types in frontend and secret as tag names.

Then gita ll will show a, b, and c repos. gita ll frontend shows a and b. gita ll secret shows a and c.
