fwiw, I suggest to use just the plain 'git submodule'.  It works perfectly
to build a BSP and uses a native git workflow.  E.g. look at

             https://gitlab.com/ensc-groups/bpi-router/BSP

A plain 'git clone --recursive' will download the complete BSP and you
can use 'git remote update --remote' to synchronize layers.


Google 'repo' is crap and adds only a very small value (better mirroring
and 'repo grep') compared to submodules.
