I actually managed to make some progress - for the archives, I had to...
add some directories and chown them to the webserver user (chown
www-data:www-data /var/www/.composer/cache/)
run the command as: "php composer.phar install" instead of just
"composer.phar install" using the www-data user
upgrade PHP to > 5.5.0

However, now I have this error...
$ php composer.phar install
Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies (including require-dev) from lock file
Package operations: 66 installs, 0 updates, 0 removals


  [RuntimeException]
  /my/current/5.2/git/clone/horde-git-tools/vendor does not exist and
could not be created.

Apparently, this is because www-data needs rw access to horde-git-tools/ - so...
chmod -R 774 /usr/share/git-horde5/horde-git-tools/

at least for now...

That directory is filling up with 66 packages, but what the next steps
are, I have no idea.


Overall, I think more people using the git clone is better for the
project, because it gives the developers more information and better
support.   The previous way of cloning the git repository - AND
updating it! - was relatively simple.  The added complexity seems to
be caused by assumed competence in other tools (composer) - which can
be avoided by better documentation, rather any other cause.
