Creating Custom Git repo with Google Repo

I have created a private repo on bitbucket. The repo contains a .repo/manifests/default.xml file, as well as a symlink .repo/manifest.xml which points to default.xml. The default.xml is seen below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
    <remote name="bitbucket" fetch=".."/>
    <default revision="refs/heads/master" remote="bitbucket" sync-j="4"/>
    <project name="oem" remote="bitbucket" path="oem">
</manifest>

I then create a local directory embedded and inside it run repo init -u [email protected]:<username>/embedded.git

The above command produces 

fatal: manifest 'default.xml' not available
fatal: manifest default.xml not found

Not sure what i have done wrong?

The repository is currently empty expect for the files mentioned above.

It's hard to find docs on repo. But if you do a repo help manifest it will tell you

The basic structure of a manifest is a bare Git repository holding a single 'default.xml' XML file in the top level directory.

The symlink .repo/manifest.xml and the directory .repo/manifests are created by repo and are not part of the manifest repo. Your git repo should just have a single file default.xml (it can have any others that are just ignored by repo).
