I tried to download the kernel source from the new location using: repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common.git
but I get the following error half way through the process: "error: revision refs/heads/master in manifests not found" Is this the wrong git file? I don't see a manifest.git in the kernel dir. How do I pull the kernel source now that it has been moved? (I didn't have this issue when kernel was packaged in with the platform source).
