cannot sync from android repository

I'm trying to make sync according http://source.android.com/download manual, so everything is good, except syncing :)

repo sync
...
Fetching projects:   5% (8/143)  
Initializing project platform/development ...
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
error: Cannot fetch platform/development
.. or
Fetching projects:   2% (3/143)  fatal: read error (Connection reset by peer)
error: Cannot fetch platform/bootable/diskinstaller

I'开发者_StackOverflow中文版ve found this issue, but there is not valuable information

Any ideas?

Yes, just keep retrying, even when i have got 100% successful repo sync, retry again may gives error:

Eg,

repo sync
Fetching projects: 100% (171/171), done.  

honeyman:/root/download/android/myandroid>repo sync
Fetching projects:   7% (12/171)  fatal: protocol error: bad line length character
error: Cannot fetch device/htc/passion-common

honeyman:/root/download/android/myandroid>repo sync
Fetching projects:  10% (18/171)  fatal: protocol error: bad line length character
error: Cannot fetch platform/external/blktrace

honeyman:/root/download/android/myandroid>repo sync
Fetching projects:  48% (83/171)  fatal: protocol error: bad line length character
error: Cannot fetch platform/external/safe-iop

honeyman:/root/download/android/myandroid>repo sync
Fetching projects:  30% (52/171)  fatal: protocol error: bad line length character
error: Cannot fetch platform/external/iptables

honeyman:/root/download/android/myandroid>repo sync
Fetching projects:   1% (2/171)  fatal: protocol error: bad line length character
error: Cannot fetch platform/bootable/bootloader/legacy

Luckily I found the reason is because of my unreliable ethernet RJ45 port (do a "dmesg"):

The answer is to retry again.

It's seems there is a workaround for this bug (Add missing return False to preconnect):
