Okay so I was trying to clone a android recovery and I got a fatal error :

How do I solve this?
@friendlymaninthisworld, the error is in the manifest you are trying to use.
IIRC, you can't have .repo in path since this directory is used by git-repo internally. Manifest author should choose another path, without .repo.
Also, looks like you use original Google git-repo version. It has its own bug tracker, you should report your issues there.
Thank you it worked!!!
For an explination, I :
"git clone https://android.googlesource.com/tools/repo"
the I used
"repo init" in the folder
