Try completely removing the repository (deleting the files, including the hidden .repo folder) and reinstalling it.

I followed Cyanogen's instructions and my manual repo sync gets aborted too..Download issues..Is it possible to get the repo by any additional means like a torrent/resumable direct download and create the actual repo sync by using a local virtual link?

You could probably download each folder individually but that would take forever. Once you click on a sub folder it will give you the option to download that folder as a ZIP. I would like to figure out exactly what packages are needed because I'm sure that about 75% of the things we download aren't needed to make the recovery image.

So if I can manually download all these, and then recreate the folder structure in my home folder, would that be enough, and can I then proceed with the steps following "repo sync"?

You probably could but it will probably be a major pain in the butt since folders are created that dont exist in the archive when you download them. Heres an example of what I mean: I downloaded the package android_bootable_recovery and all the folders in it parallel the ones in my build directory except its about four folders deep in my build environment...

android -> system -> bootable -> recovery -> all files from the archive are here

you may want to ask over on the CM forums about the errors you guys are getting because I dont know much about Git.

edit: I just realised something, the directory structure is implied in the name of the package. Each underscore represents a / so android_packages_apps_voicedialer would be android/system/packages/apps/voicedialer

I'm trying to figure out what packages (folders) aren't needed. I know 6.4gb worth of stuff isnt needed to build a 3mb recovery image for a single device. I've got it down to 3.5gb so far.

edit: dont follow this yet. I deleted something and now the image doesnt get created.

Heres what can be deleted safely so far:
1. Everything inside of android/system/.repo/projects/prebuilt.git/objects/pack/
2. Everything in android/system/.repo/projects/device/ except motorola
3. Darwinx86, Darwinx86_64, Windows and Windows64 from android/system/prebuilt/
4. Chromium, icu4c and Webkit from android/system/external/
