Unable to check out Angle on Ubuntu 22.04

[Adam Leggett]

Forgive me for what might be a noob post, but this has been a difficult day trying to get started and I'm looking for some help.

gclient sync does not work for me in the angle directory. I have tried this on Ubuntu 22.04 both in a Docker container and as a full desktop installation in a Parallels VM. Either way, it's the same error related to VK-GL-CTS:

[0:05:58] fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Hey Adam,

A couple things to try:

1. re-install depot tools

2. nuke third_party/VK-GL-CTS and retry gclient sync

VK-GL-CTS is 3.1GB, so it probably just takes a long time to checkout.

Maybe some gclient flags to reduce checkout size can help. Like --no-history or --shallow.

I'd also use '-j 1' to ensure there is no congestion from checking out multiple repos at once.

--no-history solved the issue for me - thank you very much!

I've had this issue on a few different machines now, so I suspect it might not just be me and this might merit mention in the README.
