If you want to find the appropriate tag to check the exact code branch, try the following:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/+refs

Thus, looking at the list, the branch you should try would look like this: android-2.2.2_r1

Answer 2

Try the following: repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/repo -b froyo

Answer 3

This worked for me.

 repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-2.2_r1.1 

I assume r1.1 is a release branch. can anyone confirm this?
