Manifest File and repo commands

Inside of the manifest file

The manifest file can be found in hidden directory under the project root.(.repo/manifests/default.xml)

The directory .repo/manifest is a git repository.
The branches in this git reflect the branhes in the project

<manifest>
.....
...

[below are the list of project, above this line are Manifest head]
<project path="system/bt" name="system/bt"/>
<project path="hardware/libhardware" name="hardware/libhardware"/>

<manifest>


---------Most common Repo commands------
1. repo sync  --> Download the latest changes in all repositories.
2. repo start  --> Create a new branch
3. repo upload --> Upload one or more change to gerrit


Major issue :

If you forgot to create brnach and do the change and want to commit then it will FAIL.

Solution: once your change is ready, then better you can create the patch for your change and then
create the branch. Once branch is created you can apply your patch.
