If you could, on the above server, please run git update-server-info
(or rename .git/hooks/post-update.sample so it executes on every push)
so this can be fetched over http.

Furthermore, the bootstrap currently fails:

...
Don't forget to
  - add "._bootmp/lib/Makefile" to AC_CONFIG_FILES in ./configure.ac,
  - add "._bootmp/gnulib-tests/Makefile" to AC_CONFIG_FILES in ./configure.ac,
  - mention "lib" in SUBDIRS in ._bootmp/Makefile.am,
  - mention "gnulib-tests" in SUBDIRS in ._bootmp/Makefile.am,
  - mention "-I ._bootmp/m4" in ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am,
  - mention "._bootmp/m4/gnulib-cache.m4" in EXTRA_DIST in Makefile.am,
  - invoke gl_EARLY in ./configure.ac, right after AC_PROG_CC,
  - invoke gl_INIT in ./configure.ac.
./bootstrap: doc/fdl.texi overrides ._bootmp/doc/fdl.texi
cmp: gnulib-tests/Makefile.am: No such file or directory
./bootstrap: Copying ._bootmp/gnulib-tests/Makefile.am to gnulib-tests/Makefile.am ...
./bootstrap: line 590: gnulib-tests/Makefile.am: No such file or directory

Thanks,
Matt
