[syslinux] git problem

Tue Apr 17 01:26:32 PDT 2007

I'm trying to get the head source so I can try the patch Ram mentioned 
in his email but without success. I have not used git/cogito before.

The output below is from a cygwin session but I get similar results on 
Ubuntu as well (a bit more of the html ending with 'as an object to 
pull'). So whatever is wrong is common to my cygwin and Ubuntu setup.

Thanks,
Andrew
