The name is slightly problematic as Google also released something with the same name: used for Android to solve the issue with multiple repositories instead of submodules.

Besides that, looks interesting and I will give it a try!

Well as I said for another post I'm aware of that. As the google project is mostly used only for android and chromium, and as the canonical name of the tool really is /repo/ and not /git-repo/, there's no real name clashing.

The only issue might be my project being shadowed by google and go, but the more people will like and use the tool I baked with , the more it'll appear on their first page. So it's not really up to me, but up to you all liking it!

And finally, if someone comes with a nicer better name than what I chose (I actually did not spend more than 2.42 minutes on the name when I had to mkdir the project's directory), I might be happy to rename :)

Otherwise, I hope you'll like the tool and send me patches and <3
