How does gitk view associate to the local and remote repository paths?

Question

I am trying to find source code in our project and I have access to the view with gitk but I don't have a local copy. Now I want to get a local copy. How do I interpret gitk presentation to extract the code into my local repository?

Answer 1

I was able to edit my project/.repo/manifests/default.xml to include the path relative to its neighboring git projects.
