（AOSP）repo checkout指定版本

aosp 怎么切换分支？

To properly switch Android version, all you need to change is branch for your manifest repository. First determine the available branches with manifests for the different Android versions:

cd $ANDROID_ROOT
cd .repo/manifests
git branch -av   # see all available branches on origin
Select a version and

cd $ANDROID_ROOT
repo init -b <my_selected_android_version>
Such selective repo init with -b (without -u) will only update manifest branch and will not otherwise touch your tree.

Now, simply sync it:

repo sync -j8
and some time later, your Android tree will switch to another version.

Speed of this operation is mostly determined by how much default.xml manifest file differs between old and new Android versions - because if some git repository was added in new manifest, it will spend time cloning it. And if some repository was removed, if will actually blow it away.

But, by and large, this method is still much faster than initializing brand new Android tree from scratch.

caoxinyu@caoxinyu-ThinkPad-T470p:/usr/lib/aosp_dir/aosp/.repo/manifests$ python repo init -b android-8.0.0_r9

遇到错误：

   rm -r /usr/lib/aosp_dir/aosp/.repo
and try again.

总结：

不建议这样弄。我尝试了几次，都以失败告终。还是研究最新的android 代码好了。或者刚开始下载的时候，就下载你想要的版本。
