MTP add/remove storage instead of disabling MTP Implement a pipe between TWRP and MTP to allow TWRP to tell MTP to remove storage partitions as they become unavailable (e.g. during a wipe, unmount, etc) instead of disabling MTP completely. This includes some fixes and improvements in destructors to properly remove / delete various items. This also means that we will not be toggling adb off and on quite as often. I do not like that we had to add another thread, but we were unable to use select() on the mtp_usb character device because this device does not support polling. Select always returned indicating that the mtp file descriptor was ready to be read and the resulting read would block. The read block prevented us from being able to include reading of the pipe between TWRP and MTP in the main MTP thread. We might want to add a return pipe letting TWRP know if the removal of the storage device was successful, but I am not sure how we want to implement this. It would invovle timeouts in both TWRP and MTP to ensure that we returned a failure indicator in a timely manner to TWRP and prevent deleting the storage device in the case of a failure. Right now we make no attempt to ensure that an MTP operation is underway like a large file transfer, but we were not doing anything like this in the past. In some respects we have limited control over what happens. If the user installs a zip that unmounts a storage partition, we will not know about the change in storage status anyway. Regular Android does not have these troubles because partitions rarely get unmounted like in recovery. At some point, we have to hold the user accountable for performing actions that may remove a storage partition while they are using MTP anyway. Ideally we do not want to toggle the USB IDs and thus toggle adb off and on during early boot, but I am not sure what the best way to handle that at this time.

Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP)
The goal of this branch is to rebase TWRP onto AOSP while maintaining as much of the original AOSP code as possible. This goal should allow us to apply updates to the AOSP code going forward with little to no extra work. With this goal in mind, we will carefully consider any changes needed to the AOSP code before allowing them. In most cases, instead of changing the AOSP code, we'll create our own functions instead. The only changes that should be made to AOSP code should be those affecting startup of the recovery and some of the make files.
If there are changes that need to be merged from AOSP, we will pull the change directly from AOSP instead of creating a new patch in order to prevent merge conflicts with AOSP.
This branch is under final testing and will be used shortly for public builds, but has not officially been released.

If you have code changes to submit those should be pushed to our gerrit instance. A guide can be found here.
