DETAILS

       The 'repo init' command is run once to install and initialize repo. The latest repo source
       code  and manifest collection is downloaded from the server and is installed in the .repo/
       directory in the current working directory.

       When creating a new checkout, the manifest URL is the only required  setting.  It  may  be
       specified using the --manifest-url option, or as the first optional argument.

       The optional -b argument can be used to select the manifest branch to checkout and use. If
       no branch is specified, the remote's default branch is used. This is equivalent  to  using
       -b HEAD.

       The  optional  -m  argument can be used to specify an alternate manifest to be used. If no
       manifest is specified, the manifest default.xml will be used.

       If the --standalone-manifest argument is set, the manifest  will  be  downloaded  directly
       from  the specified --manifest-url as a static file (rather than setting up a manifest git
       checkout). With --standalone-manifest, the manifest will be fully static and will  not  be
       re-downloaded during subsesquent `repo init` and `repo sync` calls.

       The  --reference  option  can  be  used  to point to a directory that has the content of a
       --mirror sync. This will make the working directory use as much data as possible from  the
       local  reference directory when fetching from the server. This will make the sync go a lot
       faster by reducing data traffic on the network.

       The --dissociate option can be used to borrow the objects  from  the  directory  specified
       with  the --reference option only to reduce network transfer, and stop borrowing from them
       after a first clone is made by making necessary local copies of borrowed objects.

       The --no-clone-bundle option disables any attempt to use $URL/clone.bundle to bootstrap  a
       new  Git  repository from a resumeable bundle file on a content delivery network. This may
       be  necessary  if  there  are  problems  with  the  local  Python  HTTP  client  or  proxy
       configuration, but the Git binary works.

       Switching Manifest Branches

       To  switch  to  another  manifest  branch,  `repo  init  -b otherbranch` may be used in an
       existing client. However, as this only updates the manifest, a subsequent `repo sync`  (or
       `repo sync -d`) is necessary to update the working directory files.
