Hmm, why are you cd'd deep inside an already initialized repo?

[las]

The result is the same if I was in directory /home/user/android/.
I just got the log when I was in that directory to check what is in
that file.
And today it seems all is ok , repo init finished. I donot have any
idea what happened , nothing changed.
However , When I use "repo sync " to sync source , error like
below keeps poping up.
"fatal: read error (Connection reset by peer)
fatal: protocol error: bad pack header
error: Cannot fetch platform/packages/apps/HTMLViewer
"
in different packages,projects and stops the scripts running.

This is caused by network errors.  The connection is being closed before all of the data for the response header can be received, let alone any other data.  Retrying a little bit later usually works for most people.  I've spoken with the admins behind android.git.kernel.org and they haven't seen any unusual problems on their Git hosting servers.

You aren't the only one to report transient connection errors during "repo sync".  I'm starting to consider adding an automatic retry into repo, because the most common failure appears to be this transient connection problem.
