<p><a name="index-Repo-init-sync-97"></a><a name="index-buildbot_002esteps_002esource_002eRepo-98"></a>
The <code>Repo</code> build step performs a <a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/304488/">Repo</a>
init and sync.
<p>The Repo step takes the following arguments:
<dl>
<dt><code>manifest_url</code><dd>(required): the URL at which the Repo's manifests source repository is available.
<br><dt><code>manifest_branch</code><dd>(optional, defaults to <code>master</code>): the manifest repository branch on which
repo will take its manifest. Corresponds to the <code>-b</code> argument to the <code>repo init</code> command.
<br><dt><code>manifest_file</code><dd>(optional, defaults to <code>default.xml</code>): the manifest filename.
Corresponds to the <code>-m</code> argument to the <code>repo init</code> command.
<br><dt><code>tarball</code><dd>(optional, defaults to <code>None</code>): the repo tarball used for fast bootstrap.
If not present the tarball will be created automatically after first sync.
It is a copy of the <code>.repo</code> directory which contains all the git objects.
This feature helps to minimize network usage on very big projects.

<p>This Source step integrates with <a href="GerritChangeSource.html#GerritChangeSource">GerritChangeSource</a>, and will automatically use the
<code>repo download</code> command of repo to download the additionnal changes introduced by a
pending changeset.
<p>Gerrit integration can be also triggered using forced build with following properties:
<code>repo_d</code>, <code>repo_d[0-9]</code>, <code>repo_download</code>, <code>repo_download[0-9]</code>
with values in format: <code>project/change_number/patchset_number</code>.
All of these properties will be translated into a <code>repo download</code>.
This feature allows integrators to build with several pending interdependent changes,
which at the moment cannot be described properly in Gerrit, and can only be described
by humans.
