This is a port of the [git-repo](http://source.android.com/source/version-control.html) tool from Unix to Windows.
This is a portable version (Windows 7+, Unix) of the [git-repo](http://source.android.com/source/version-control.html) tool.
Git-repo was developed by Google for their Android platform in order to manage multiple Git repositories with a single tool.
