Error: project not found when try to create new branch in specified project

[panidarynka]

Hello,
I successfully installed your git-repo for Windows.
Then init repo with manifest and synced my projects.
When trying to create a new branch with:
$ repo start branch_name project_name
I have an error: project project_name not found.
But command:
$ repo start branch_name --all
works fine.
Why doesn't repo tool see my projects?

try :

$repo start branchName --all

I have the same issue, the thing here is I don't want to create a branch in all projects

in .repo/repo/command.py update the following functions to add backslash substitution:

  def _ResetPathToProjectMap(self, projects):
    self._by_path = dict((p.worktree.replace('\\', '/'), p) for p in projects)

  def _UpdatePathToProjectMap(self, project):
    self._by_path[project.worktree.replace('\\', '/')] = project

This is needed because rather inconsistently the manifest has the backslashes substituted already in the original version so when the project name is compared with the manifest it fails.

I wonder if someone maintaining this GIT could fix this for everyone?
