I've proprietary repositories stored on our local bitbucket server. I have also created local_manifest.xml to replace those upstream repos with local.
This all is working fine, it's pulling the local repos instead of upstream and built android images with the changes.
There are new changes pushed to local repos and I wanted to pull all the local repos part of local_manifest.xml and ignore upstream projects since it won't be changing for my platform.
I tried repo sync but it blocks at following and doesn't move forward. ^C skips the sync for that repo but it also blocks with the repos from local_manifest.xml
$ repo sync

How can I only sync the repos from local_manifest.xml and ignore all other upstream repos?
if you check here a comment from ElpieKay to the original question,
repo syncis designed to checkout a detached HEAD...
You could try using repo sync with -f: Proceed with syncing other projects even if a project fails to sync. Check here for more details.
So following command should pull the latest changes from the branch specified from your local_manifest.xml
repo sync -f -c
