What I've been doing is pulling the cogito source, this time directly
from the net accessible repo, building it, and then copying the
binaries to a special directory I added to my path

  elf@florence ~...git/bin > cat git-clone-script
  #!/bin/sh
  repo="$1"
  dir="$2"
  mkdir "$dir" && cd "$dir" && git-init-db && git-clone-pack "$repo"

What more could I need?

That, too, has been failing.  I think for some different reason.

  elf@florence ~/z/embedded > git clone -l linux-2.6 linux-2.6-cloned
  mkdir: cannot create directory `linux-2.6': File exists

Looks like something's borked.
