Yes, we are not providing http transport for git repositories.

That's a bit odd; normally the code is automatically checked out after
the repository is cloned. To get the sources out of the repository, just
check out the master branch:

 $ git checkout master

There are several other branches in this repository which may also be of
interest, in particular the modesetting branch is where the non-VBIOS
mode work is going on.
