[syslinux] git problem

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

I found a typo in my git command line and now it gets further but still
does not complete. This does not look like a network issue to me but
then I don't know what it could be either.
