repo about .git/HEAD: error: manifest missing or unreadable -- please run init

Question

I was downloading android 4.4 source code using repo(in ubuntu). Last time I killed repo process by pressing the key combination: Ctrl+Z, and when I started it this time by using the command: "repo init" and "repo sync", I got the following errors:

error: in sync: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/home/ubuntu/workspace/packages/apps/VoiceDialer/.git/HEAD' error: manifest missing or unreadable -- please run init

I've tried "run init", which displays no errors. But the problem remains after running "repo init". What should I do? Is there any way to tell repo to reproduce the ./git/HEAD file?

Answer 1

I solved the problem by deleting the VoiceDialer folder, then running "repo init" and "repo sync". With the .git folder in it, it may not "repo init" successfully.

Answer 2

I also get the problem. Here are the steps: 1. delete the folder 2. 'repo sync' the folder again.
