I want to thank you for the --current-branch option released with repo 1.8.2 . It reduced my workspace size from 59GB to 34GB
It's perfect if you're working with a single manifest branch.
I ran into an issue a couple times though.
When I have a project in the manifest with revision=SHA1 for example, it'll break and throw the following exception up:
Exception in thread Thread-7:

If I'm using Jenkins' gerrit-repo plugin for example, I cannot use the manifest it generates for every build for syncing.
Thanks in advance for taking a look at it.
Luciano.
