No, that command "git clone --depth 365 git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib gnulib"
has not been tried before in this environment, so no actual certainty it
should work.  However, what confuses is that other git commands directly to
github that I thought were "git://" forms work just fine, e.g. "git clone
[email protected]:tshinnic/debugfonts.git", fetches, pushes, etc.

I'll chalk it up to network nits and not worry the bootstrap info has
bit-rotted - thanks for the reality checking.

(I'm in the bowels of a hospital network today, so bugs/germs/ills of all
sorts are believable)
