from the server and is installed in the .repo/ directory in the
current working directory.
The optional <manifest> argument can be used to specify an alternate
manifest to be used. If no manifest is specified, the manifest
default.xml will be used.
The optional -b argument can be used to select the manifest branch
to checkout and use. If no branch is specified, master is assumed.
The optional -m argument can be used to specify an alternate manifest
to be used. If no manifest is specified, the manifest default.xml
will be used.

---------------------------
To switch to another manifest branch, `repo init -b otherbranch`
may be used in an existing client. However, as this only updates the

to update the working directory files.
