I have limited space in my VM, so I am trying to checkout the latest version of the Android source (without the repo history). I did the following:

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-5.1.1_r37 --depth=1
repo sync -c -j24 -q

It seems that the --depth option is not working and the checkout is still more than 6 GB. Is the option still supported?

6gb sounds about right. – 1615903 Jun 21 '16 at 07:28
`--depth=1` reduces the size of commit history but cannot reduce the size of checkout. – ElpieKay Jun 21 '16 at 07:28
I managed to finish the downloading today. It is about 21GB. so the --depth doesn't help to reduce the size of the checkout. – sqr Jun 23 '16 at 08:10
