I tried this on my laptop after trying 'https' and before posting my 
last message and did not succeed.

Or, more precisely, I *thought* I tried this on my laptop.

But I see now that I was using the wrong syntax.  I was using:

   git clone [email protected]/ap/opodhtml.git aristotle-opodhtml

instead of this based on yours above:

   git clone git://github.com/ap/opodhtml.git aristotle-opodhtml

And I see that this repo does indeed have history going back all the way 
to Larry's original commit.  I hope to pursue the rest of Aristotle's 
suggestions later today.

Thank you very much.
