Cloning from scratch probably worked differently than starting from wherever I was.

Sorry, I didn't preserve the exact state from where I started... I think my last update was yesterday afternoon. Would have been a good test case. However, I'm very clear on the symptoms... trying to start from wherever I had last updated, to update to the current release, failed when sucking from HTTP, but worked when sucking from GIT.

In fact, I got the same exact behavior both on my Darwin laptop and my OpenBSD box, so I had to edit them both to get away from HTTP protocol.
