DETAILS

       The  'repo gitc-init' command is ran to initialize a new GITC client for use with the GITC
       file system.

       This command will setup the client directory, initialize repo, just like repo  init  does,
       and  then  downloads the manifest collection and installs it in the .repo/directory of the
       GITC client.

       Once this is done, a GITC manifest is generated by pulling the HEAD SHA for  each  project
       and  generates  the  properly  formatted XML file and installs it as .manifest in the GITC
       client directory.

       The -c argument is required to specify the GITC client name.

       The optional -f argument can be used to specify the manifest file to  use  for  this  GITC
       client.
