Reproduce the reported repo init command on the stated Ubuntu environment, then inspect repo/subcmds/init.py and repo/project.py around _SyncManifest, PreSync, CurrentBranch, and GetHead. Done means initialization completes without the missing manifests/.git/HEAD error and allows the expected Gingerbread manifest sync.
