[Sugar-devel] Cannot sugar-jhbuild update

[David Farning]

Thanks for finding this.

Indeed, Gnome must have recently moved the location of jhbuild in
their git repo.  A couple of weeks ago there was a poll at Gnome about
changing their VCS to git.

The changes to the gnome git infrastructure have been fast and furious
since then.
