I'm trying to init repo of Android ROM, but it returns following error on Ubuntu 16.04:

$ repo init -u git://github.com/AOSiP/platform_manifest.git -b pie
    Get git://github.com/AOSiP/platform_manifest.git
    Traceback (most recent call last):

        _Main(sys.argv[1:])
      File "/media/exthdd/AOSIP/.repo/repo/main.py", line 522, in _Main
        result = repo._Run(argv) or 0
      File "/media/exthdd/AOSIP/.repo/repo/main.py", line 184, in _Run
        result = cmd.Execute(copts, cargs)

        return os.symlink(source, link_name)
    OSError: [Errno 38] Function not implemented
It works when running on system drive, but I don't have enough space there.
