Verify that the newly created empty git repo on the requested branch is properly created, using following steps:
Login to your user account and test if the repo sync of the new project completes successfully.
Example line1: mkdir test
Example line2: cd test/
repo init -u ssh://username@10.15.1.31:29418/simt_mirror/platform/manifest -b <branch-name>
Example : repo init -u ssh://username@10.15.1.31:29418/simt_mirror/platform/manifest -b 8926-X700-10152-BELL-MR1-MSI1
