Repo sync error - remote does not have refs/heads/master

[upndwn4par]

I recently started building from AOSP source. After a couple of months of builds I wanted to sync with AOSP, but when I tried to repo sync I got the errors below. All of my remotes have a master branch.

Any thoughts?

Problem solved. It seems that repo doesn't like GitHub remotes that use a master branch. I just created new branches with a different name and everything synced fine.

can explain me how you changed the branch names or simple way of getting out of this problem, i'm also facing the same problem while syncing the RR source code.
