My guess is that you had already run repo init in your home directory,
which created a .repo there, such that repo now believes that you're
trying to modify that client instead of creating a new one, since
you're in that existing one.

I recommend that you check for an existing .repo in your home
directory and, if you don't need that one any more, that you delete
it.

OR, keep your work-directories in separate subdirectories.

example,
mkdir ~/work1; cd ~/work1; repo init ...
mkdir ~/work2;cd ~/work2; repo init ...

repo has logic the looks for previous repo in current directory, if not found, look in parent directory, ...
In the above example, in ~/work2, it won't spot the environment in ~/work1
