The sv is an alias to savannah. A typing aid. The canonical name is vcs.savannah.gnu.org but any of the aliases to it are fine too. You will also see aliases for cvs and bzr and others too. > > but the ".git" extension may be necessary. > > I see, thanks, I'm trying it now with the .git extension... Whether a clone has a .git on the end or not is not important. The git clone will add a .git to the end automatically. git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs Is the same as: git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs.git Therefore I tend to leave it off to shorten things. Otherwise there is "git" in the command line about four different times! At some point it sounds like South Park's "Marklar marklar marklar". Your problem was unrelated to the .git on the end or not. Either way there is fine. Your problem was the overloaded server as I wrote about in my other message. Bob
