When using "repo init" how to get master branch of repo

[Wink Saville]

Rather than getting the stable branch of ".repo/repo" I'd like to get the master branch. Looking at "repo help init" I see there are --repo-branch and --repo-url options but I couldn't get the to work, I could only get the stable branch. How can I checkout the master branch?

It should work with the --repo-branch option.  You might also need to add --no-repo-verify.

Using --no-repo-verify almost worked, it successfully got "origin/master":

$ repo init --repo-branch=master --no-repo-verify -u https://github.com/winksaville/sel4-helloworld-test-linkfiles-manifest.git

Get https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/clone.bundle

Get https://github.com/winksaville/sel4-helloworld-test-linkfiles-manifest.git

If you want to change this, please re-run 'repo init' with --config-name

But it retrieved sha1: c116f94261cf0e6d33b3910b68d08d3b0e4bccdd instead of

sha1: 185307d1dd1e63a8cf139c55f26895a6b378d43b I was expecting. if I

"cd .repo/repo" and do a "git pull -u origin master" then I do get

sha1: 185307d1dd1e63a8cf139c55f26895a6b378d43b.

Suggestions?
