Repo Initialization Error

[Tirtha]

Hi,

I am using Virtual Box with KUbuntu Linux on x86(Windows XP) system
and setting up system for Android Source SDK. I have installed repo
through (curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo >~/bin/repo). Now I
am trying to initialize repo by $ repo init -u
git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git but here I am
getting an error shown as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/tirtha/
mydroid/.repo/manifests/.git/HEAD'


I have try to go to the mentioned folder and it looks like /home/
tirtha/mydroid/.repo/manifest.git/HEAD rather '/home/tirtha/
mydroid/.repo/manifests/.git/HEAD'.

Can anybody suggest me the reson of the error and any solution for
this

Thnaks and regards,
Tirtha

Odd.

Never seen that happen before.  Sounds like we failed to create the ".git" directory silently, and then "HEAD" couldn't be created there either.  That shouldn't have happened.

Try rm -rf .repo; repo init -u ... again ?

I had the same problem. It turned out that I typoed the path.

Specifically, I typed "android.git.kernel.org/platform.manifest.git"
instead of "android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git"

This resulted in:

"Getting manifest ...
from git://android.git.kernel.org/platform.manifest.git
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: cannot obtain manifest git://android.git.kernel.org/platform.manifest.git"

As Shawn Pearce stated Removing the .repo folder fixed the issue.

rm -r ~/.repo; ~/bin/repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform.manifest.git


Hope this helps anyone else with bad typing skills,
