yeah, I missed your "git init" command, most likely "src refspec master
does not match any" says that you don't have any commits in your local
repo.

And since there is already commits in remore repo, you need to

    git pull gitorious at git.sugarlabs.org:<your-slug-here>/mainline.git

to create new local repo, then copy&paste all files you changed since
last remote commit and follow regular git worklows
(`git (add|commit|push)`)

btw, git will be much cleaner if you undestand how it works under the
hood, http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~cduan/technical/git
