Android Repo sync Fatal : frameworks/base git

[Ashish Krishnan]

$ repo sync for

Build LMY47V android-5.1.1_r1 Lollipop

results into error:

1st Error

FATAL: UNEXPECTED EOF

and doing a repo sync again gives 

this

Fetching projects:  62% (302/486)  Fetching project platform/frameworks/base
fatal: Not a git repository: '/home/ashish/askdnx/.repo/projects/frameworks/base.git'

The repo sync goes on for sometime and then fails with errors.

I have tried doing 

rm -rf ~/.repo/projects/frameworks/baseand rm -rf frameworks/base

Try deleting ~/.repo/projects/frameworks/base.git (note .git suffix).
I bet the command above silently didn't delete anything.

On an unrelated note you have a .repo directory in $HOME. Sooner or
later that's going to cause you problems. For reasons I've forgotten
Repo will find the top-most .repo directory in a hierarchy, so if you
ever attempt to initialize a Repo workspace in any subdirectory to
$HOME you're in for a surprise.

I have tried deleting the framework/base.git from the location. But it is of no help. 

You mentioned about a issue with my directory listing. Your Suggestion on where I should keep the .repo folder.

Can I move the current .repo to entire new location by moving it by file operations.

I don't think it's anything wrong on the server side so you probably
have some leftover junk you need to clean up.

Personal source code files are often put under ~/src so perhaps
~/src/aosp would make sense in your case. Just don't make your
home directory a Repo workspace root.

Yes, move the .repo directory and its parent directory.

I removed the framework/base.git and tried

 

repo sync

It crossed 62 % (previous error) and was stuck at 99% (Fetching project platform/frameworks/opt/net/ims). For this I used the switch

repo sync -f

using repo sync -s.

 I got this error

Syncing work tree: 56% (273/486) error: in `sync -f`: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ~/askdnx/.repo/frameworks/base/.git/HEAD' error: manifest missing or unreadable -- please run init

Any fix to this? Can I sync the frameworks/base.git individually?.
normal repo sync is not working here. it skips frameworks/base and moves ahead. 

repo status

Gives this:

Another thing to note is, there is frameworks directory next to ".repo" and not inside .repo/platforms/frameworks/base.git 

Thanks in advance.!

Yes, with 'repo sync platform/frameworks/base'. But that won't fix
the missing manifest. I don't know how you ended up in that state.
You should have a .repo/manifest.xml symlink that points to
manifests/default.xml.

Yes, that's expected. It's the working tree.
