repo doesn't create local branches for you, hence you end up with a detached head that points to the last known good commit.
Before you start developing make sure you have local branches:
repo forall -c 'git checkout $REPO_RREV'
Now set git to use the commit template that will help you write good commit messages:
ROOTDIR=$(pwd) repo forall -c 'git config commit.template $ROOTDIR/misc/repotools/.commit-template'
Click on the Issues tab and submit issues.
Click on the Wiki tab, read and/or write new content.
Alternatively you can clone the Wiki repository, work on your local system and push the changes back.
