I followed the instructions to grab the code (using Ubuntu Hardy x86-64), and I got a bit of code, and then this result:

Has anyone else seen this? I don't have much (OK, any) experience with git, so maybe this is not uncommon, but I don't know.

seems like their git repositories are just busy. Just keep retrying. I had to restart repo a bunch of times till I got a connection.
