Question

The only documentation about googles \'repo\' tool for android repository management was:

https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/opensource/download/using-repo

Answer 1

Documentation about repo is a bit hard to come about, as you have discovered.

In addition to your link, the repo help commands are very useful. E.g. repo help manifest and repo help sync are quite well described.

Also if you look in your .repo/repo/docs/manifest-format.txt there are very decent description of the manifest system used by the Android repo program.

If you discover additional resources of information on repo I would be very interested in hearing about it. :)
