I tried to grab a recursive clone of qemu.git in order to get the head of
the seabios and vgabios trees to match the head of qemu.git, but the
operation failed with

  $ git clone --recursive git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git qemu-r

Is this a problem with qemu.git, or am I just failing to drive git properly?

Cheers,
