I tried every incarnation of git clone based on http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/GIT and still couldn't get it to work - eg:

git clone http://drankin@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-packaging/
<snip>
git clone http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-packaging
if you look on scm.trinitydesktop.org and select a repository, underneath it will give you some info like this: Name: tde-packaging Type: Git (git) Contact: kb9vqf@pearsoncomputing.net Url: http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-packaging Checkout: git clone http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-packaging
use the checkout url :-)
Thanks Calvin!

I cannot believe the only issue that kept it from working the first time was the trailing '/'! Compare:
Unsuccessful:
git clone http://drankin@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-packaging/
Successful:
git clone http://drankin@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-packaging
So is there no way to clone 'arch' alone, you have to pull the whole tde-packaging tree? The size isn't that much, but the bandwidth is very slow. Being able to clone a single distro's build scripts would eliminate over 50% of the demand on tde-packaging cloning. Eg:
09:03 nirvana:~/tdenew/git/tde-packaging> for i in */; do echo " $i"; du -hcs $i; done arch/ 30M arch/ 30M total ark/ 4.0K ark/ 4.0K total debian/ 53M debian/ 53M total fedora/ 8.0K fedora/ 8.0K total mandriva/ 11M mandriva/ 11M total opensuse/ 35M opensuse/ 35M total redhat/ 24M redhat/ 24M total slackware/ 4.0K slackware/ 4.0K total ubuntu/ 75M ubuntu/ 75M total
