[Fascinate Android Development] dcow90:
Thanks. I still think there may be a network issue though. What happend last night when I tried to sync was this:

dcow-dev@dcow-devBox:~/froyo$ repo init -u git://github.com/jt1134/platform_android.git -b froyo

Getting manifest ...

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I tried a few more times and eventually it worked. Then, about halfway through, it failed at the location mentioned in my previous post. I'd tried deleting the .repo directory and reinitializing but it still stopped at the same spot.

Now, after you fixed the typos, I removed the .repo directory again and did a fresh init but I'm getting the exact same error I got initially last night (what I just pasted above). Perhaps you missed a typo? However, I was looking through your xml and I don't see anything that looks out of place =/ Or do you think github may be having some network issues? Since it worked once or twice I'm not so sure it's on your end jt. But I'm still getting used to repo so it may be something I'm just overlooking.
