Dear diary, on Tue, Dec 13, 2005 at 10:28:20PM CET, I got a letter
where Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> said that...

Well, git clone can fail for many reasons and I don't think the "no such
repository" one is completely overwhelming, so hinting that by Cogito
could be quite confusing (theme of the day: usability ;-)).
The real solution would be proper error reporting by the git daemon.
