repo sync fails with 'Not a git repository'

[Simon Glass]

Hi,

I've tried removing things but I'm not sure how to fix this. Is there
a way to 'force' pulling down the mesa repository?

$ repo sync -l
Syncing work tree: 88% (367/417) fatal: index file smaller than expected

in my experience, when repo gets wedged like that, it frequently stays wedged.

you could try doing `rm -rf src/third_party/mesa/` and then do another repo sync.

Hi Mike,

Thanks - I had tried deleting various things including that to no
avail. With your encouragement I deleted a lot more things. The
--trace feature helps a bit to see what is actually wrong.

But the only thing that seemed to fix it was rsyncing various
directories from my desktop machine to the laptop. About 8 of them
were somehow corrupted. Everything is fine now and 'repo sync'
completes!

Regards,
Simon
