I have mirrored a repository with
repo init -u <uri of manifest> --mirror
repo sync
and copied it (by usb) to a system disconnected from the internet along with the repo script and the repo clone bundle repository from https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/clone.bundle.
I now want to create new client from the mirror, but when I run the command.
repo init -u <uri of manifest on mirror>
i get the following error.
fatal: Cannot get https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/clone.bundle
fatal: error [Errno -2] Name or service not known
So I have the clone.bundle but have no way to persuade repo to use it.
Any suggestions?

By default, all projects will be synced. The --fail-fast option can be used to halt syncing as soon as possible when the first project fails to sync. The --force-sync option can be used to overwrite existing git directories if they have previously been linked to a different object directory.
git init vs.git clone is used to create a copy of an existing repository. Internally, git clone first calls git init to create a new repository. It then copies the data from the existing repository, and checks out a new set of working files.
repo sync does not overwrite local changes, so I don't think you're doing what you think you're doing. Can you give us a more detailed example of how you're using the command?
There is an option, that appears to be totaly undocumented on the internet for repo. It is --repo-url which allows you to overide where repo looks for the latest version of itself.
This is what I did:
I had the bundle saved in my home as git-repo-clone.bundle
repo init -u < uri of manifest on mirror > --repo-url ~/git-repo-clone.bundle
I found this out by reading the repo script itself, and thought I would share.

There is an option to ignore the clone bundle.
repo init -u <your-manifest-mirror-url> --no-clone-bundle
