DETAILS

140       The 'repo gitc-init' command is ran to initialize a new GITC client for
141       use with the GITC file system.
142
143       This  command  will  setup  the client directory, initialize repo, just
144       like repo init does, and then downloads the manifest collection and in‐
145       stalls it in the .repo/directory of the GITC client.
146
147       Once this is done, a GITC manifest is generated by pulling the HEAD SHA
148       for each project and generates the properly formatted XML file and  in‐
149       stalls it as .manifest in the GITC client directory.
150
151       The -c argument is required to specify the GITC client name.
152
153       The  optional  -f  argument can be used to specify the manifest file to
154       use for this GITC client.
