I had presumed it was just a more efficient protocol for downloading the
repository. At the end I got:

...
cat: /home/nickrob/mainline/.git/refs/remotes/origin/master: No such file or directory
fatal: : not a valid SHA1
fatal: Not a valid object name HEAD

but it seemed to work, as I could build GDB and git-pull now gives:

...
Fetching refs/heads/python-revisited from http://git.gitorious.org/gdb-python/mainline.git using http
Already up-to-date.

I guess CVS has a similar set of arcane rules, but at least they're ones that I
generally know.

Perhaps it's worth putting how to do this `anonymous' clone on the Wiki.

Thanks.
