Fatal error while using repo

[Victor Ronin]

Hi,

I tried to download Android sources and stuck on the step:
>repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git

I got following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

error.GitError: manifests rev-list ('^refs/remotes/origin/master',

I saw that it was mentioned here, but there was no solution in there

I would appreciate any help on this subject.

Hmm.  What version of git and what version of Python?

I've been seeing some reports from people saying the initial clone of the manifest (what repo init is doing where when it crashed) fails, but I haven't ever been able to reproduce it on any system I have access to.

If its really predictable can you also try running with:

  export REPO_TRACE=1

and send the trace output of the commands it is running?

[Victor Ronin]

Git is 1.6.0.4

Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Oct 5 2008, 19:24:49)

>If its really predictable can you also try running with:

yes. It's 100% reproducable.

I tried to use this, but didn't get any additional output.
>repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git export REPO_TRACE=1

Is there special file to which it dumps the trace of should I do any
additional actions?

It just can be fix by using python2.4.

I got same issue. I found the issue for me is caused by a hidden .repo
in parent directory rather current directory. After removing it, my
"repo init ..." is working.

I have python 2.4 and no .repo in mydroid or in any of the parent
directories. I am getting this too. Can it be anything else?

[Michael Caughey]

never mind there was a .repo in the directory. my check for it was fat
fingered ls -l rather than ls -all, so now it works.

[Horry]

I have very bad experience during repo init and i tried all above
scenarios :
eg : rm -rf .repo , rm -rm cupcakedirectory , dos2unix repo even and i
open repo trace while still encounter issue as below . This become a
bad and unstable experience for normal users and it is hardly to know
why .

Shawn , would you comments on elsewhere i should go ahead and check ?
Would that be possible to enhance repo a precheck ? thanks ...
