repo init fails, manifest.xml not found

[mdavis-xyz]

I am unable to download the repo using repo.

Unlike the other issues raised about repo init, my issue is not ssh authentication. ssh [email protected] works for me.

I'm a bit unfamiliar with repo, I mostly use normal git. The README is not very clear. I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to git clone before repo init .... Either way it fails.

Method 1

repo init -u [email protected]:Juniper/contrail-vnc -m vrouter-manifest.xml

Result:

fatal: manifest 'vrouter-manifest.xml' not available
fatal: manifest vrouter-manifest.xml not found

Method 2

git clone https://github.com/Juniper/contrail-vrouter.git
cd contrail-vrouter
repo init -u [email protected]:Juniper/contrail-vnc -m vrouter-manifest.xml

Same error message

How can I download the code?

Once I find out, I'll create a pull request for the README. It's currently underwhelming.
