   I can install Eclipse EGit and its perspective almost works (I get to the
actual clone action and then it gives up with "Problem Occurred: Cannot
download"); I'll see later if its because of our persnickety firewall or not.

   I resorted to downloading the git directly using wget:

wget -r --level=99 -np -P /destination-directory-path/lttng.2011-05-10/ -nH
--cut-dirs=5
http://git.eclipse.org/c/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.git/plain/lttng/ -o
/destination-directory-path/lttng.2011-05-10.log --reject index.html,robots.txt
--no-check-certificate

   Notice how the path needed is the ...git/plain/... one.  All I need to do to
complete wget is scan its log for any "ERROR 403" occurrences, which signal our
firewall blocking an "executable" (a Linux executable, a .gz or .sh file, etc.).
 Then I can import those projects into Eclipse.
