I followed the directions on http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html to get the Android source code. Now I have downloaded 2 GB of stuff, most of the space is taken by .pack files. Now how do I access the code?
I tried
git unpack-objects < pack-78609e1ab8b627ff3b749e8d4c78e86e096de3d8.pack
the output is:
Unpacking objects: 100% (14014/14014), done.
Is this the correct way to access the source code and where does it unpack to? Where's the output dir?
Git internally uses objects that are explained here http://book.git-scm.com/1_the_git_object_model.html. These objects may be compressed together in a pack. Anyhow, I do not expect you have anything to do with objects and/or packs. So, could you give a bit more detail on the steps you did and the files you ended up with? (Note: I'm not familiar with the Android repo-tool, but I am with git)
