Works for me as well now. One catch is that at work, I'm behind a firewall so git:// doesn't work for me. I have a packaged version that adds curl and expat, enables them in the build, and then falls back to http:// if git:// fails in /etc/profile. Is that something you'd want up on code.google.com?
