A repo init strange error

[Chih-Wei]

What's wrong with it?

$ repo init -u git://192.168.0.185/nougat-x86/manifest -b multiwindow-nougat

$ repo init -u git://192.168.0.185/nougat-x86/manifest -b multiwindow-nougat --force-sync
Usage: repo init [options]

main.py: error: no such option: --force-sync

The previous error message says to use repo sync:

   use `repo sync --force-sync .repo/manifests` to proceed

Have you tried that?

 

main.py: error: no such option: --force-sync

I think you didn't read the error carefully.

The first error says to run repo sync, but then in the next command you are running repo init.  The "no such option" error is because repo init does not have that option.

git-repo $ git grep force-sync

project.py:          raise GitError('--force-sync not enabled; cannot overwrite a local '

project.py:                         ' use `repo sync --force-sync {0}` to '

subcmds/sync.py:The --force-sync option can be used to overwrite existing git

subcmds/sync.py:    p.add_option('--force-sync',

 

 

 

main.py: error: no such option: --force-sync

Please read the error of my post more carefully.

I did "repo init ..." and got the error.
Why should I do "repo sync --force-sync .repo/manifests" first?
Is .repo/manifests a valid project to be synced?
Not at all.

I reported the issue since it's an apparent bug of repo.
