Hello All
I have been trying to mirror the Android tree since yesterday and have
been seeing strange behavior in different instances.
Instance 1:
=======
I had a old "repo" repository which i had downloaded, lets say about 2
months ago.
Using this repo command i managed to mirror the Android tree
successfully without any problems.
Instance 2:
========
Today on a another server i tried to download the latest "repo"
repository and followed the same process of mirroring the code, but i
failed with errors.
Here is what i did.
git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/tools/repo.git
repo/repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -
b cupcake –mirror
I get the error like below
Getting manifest ...

From git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest
* [new tag] android-1.0 -> android-1.0
Branch default set up to track remote branch refs/remotes/origin/
cupcake.
Switched to a new branch "default"
fatal: manifest 'default.xml' not available
fatal: refusing to mirror /home/motopull/moto-cupcake-test/repo/.git
But if i dont issue the --mirror option then it works fine.
Any ideas why this might happen with the new repo tool?

Oh. Now I get it.
When you ran repo out of its own repository, it tried to clone itself into the mirror. It refused to do that.
repo is designed to have you copy the "repo" script into your $PATH somewhere, and then just always run that. That "repo" script last changed Thu Dec 18 07:21:32 2008 -0800. It doesn't modify often. You shouldn't need to worry about cloning repo in order to run it.
