hi, I want to compile cyanogenmod for galaxy S2, but failed to fetch git repository .

My command:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread repo sync -j16
Error information:


error: Exited sync due to fetch errors
Fetching projects:   6% (19/312)  fatal: Not a git repository: '/vgdata/Downloads/android/system/.repo/projects/device/htc/msm7x30-common.git'

I have experienced that error before, and as I recall it was the result of not having git installed (a step I had forgotten after a recent Ubuntu reinstall.)

It may sound silly, but make sure it's actually there first (try "which git".) I was quite surprised when I realized it wasn't!

If you're new to this stuff, go ahead and follow this guide from the CM wiki:
http://wiki.cyanogen...ogenMod_(Linux)

You'll notice "git-core" is listed among the packages to install.

Those instructions (and the packages listed) are aimed at Ubuntu, which I see at least one of you is using. As an extra note- in case this does end up helping someone- IIRC, the sun-java6-jdk package was no longer available from the official Ubuntu repos on my build (11.10), so I had to track it down from a third party. If you do need to install those packages still, make sure you get that one, and not just openjdk.

EDIT:
Also, @jessinio, if you typed the command exactly like you did here:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread repo sync -j16
that could be a problem. That's really two different commands, and should be typed something like this:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread && repo sync -j16
