On a clean sugar-jhbuild there isn't even a jhbuild dir. And indeed
then git tries to pull in jhbuild. As you can see from Alex's post,
git can't. Again, there is no git.gnome.org/jhbuild. The path is wrong
(changed perhaps recently?). See http://git.gnome.org/cgit/. The right
path is (now) git.gnome.org/preview/jhbuild. Worked for me in any
case.
