it's not ideal, The trouble is, projects that were in the oldmanifest and not in newmanifest are purged, including any local git branches you may have added. Assuming disk and bandwidth are not an issue it is probably easier to just start a new 'repo root', copying the current for 'speed' ( common project's .git will be preserved ) I have toyed with the idea of tweaking repo a little, but never got round to looking at it -- Firerat Talented, Witty And Thoughtful .. is how most describe me.
