You can't use "git clone" to get a single file. You can only get the
entire repository using "git clone". Usually, the clone-url is written
somewhere on the projects gitweb page, and that is also the case for
this repository.
If you visit http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/files.git;a=summary you'll
find this section on that page:
URL git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-fso/files.git
http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-fso/files.git
It's impossible to infer the clone url from the gitweb url, because there's
absolutely no connection between them (that will change if gitweb gains
fetch/clone support), and the paths/urls depends on the servers configuration
which we cannot know.
