Question about repo sync using manifest <include

[nax2 nax2]

Hi,

I'm trying to reuse the manifest <include>.  It works well for an <include> manifest that includes a second child manifest for particular software components (SWC).

I'm providing a generalized example, but I hope this gets the point across without requiring the exact manifest file syntax for the example.

Manifest SWC_Target  ->  

   <include name="SWC1"/>   ->

      <include name="SWC3"/>   

However, I'm trying to handle the scenario when I have 2 different <include> under SWC_Target that both have a dependencies pointing to the same dependent SWC.

Manifest SWC_Target  ->  

   <include name="SWC1"/>   ->

      <include name="SWC3"/>   

   <include name="SWC2"/>   ->

      <include name="SWC3"/>   

If I have to repo sync SWC1 and SWC2 independently it is successful.  However, currently, if I repo sync SWC_Target then it will complain that there is a duplicate.

error: in `sync -m swc/includetest.manifest.xml`: duplicate path src/SWC3 in /random/swc-test/.repo/manifests/swc/includetest.manifest.xml

Is there anyway to tell repo tool to ignore <include> conflicts or get it to not complain if conflict's dependency <project> values for name, path and revision are the same?

Please let me know if this is a new feature request.

Thank you for your time to read this.

If a new feature it looks like the code could change here, as of now line 1430 function:  def recursively_add_projects(project)

https://github.com/GerritCodeReview/git-repo/blob/main/manifest_xml.py

If I was to change code and gain approval through a PR....  would you want me to do that work?

My apologies.  I'm in the wrong forum.

I'll review here.

Don't think you are, this mailing list is also used for repo tool, as well as Gerrit.
