Yeah, I should switch to using build.sh to do my pulls, but I've had my own script since before that was added, so never needed to change. I guess this is more incentive to do so. The other thing I needed to do, was to add to $HOME/.gitconfig: [url "<A HREF="http://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/">http://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/</A>"] insteadOf = "git://anongit.freedesktop.org/" because from behind the firewall at work http proxying is trivial, ssh is not hard, but also not fast, and direct git is just best avoided, but the git submodules list the git://anongit..../ form of url's. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> Ah! Interesting. The original m4 url was a relative path. I pushed to ge it changed to git. Someone else also prefers http, but I could not figure out why at the time. <A HREF="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xcb/2011-April/006936.html">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xcb/2011-April/006936.html</A> </BODY> </HTML>
