Gnulib is available for anonymous checkout. In any Bourne-shell the
following should work:
$ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib.git
-Or, if you prefer the CVS-like 'cogito' frontend to plain 'git':
- $ cg clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib.git
For a read-write checkout you need to have a login on savannah.gnu.org and be
a member of the gnulib project at http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnulib .

-For those among us who have tightly limited disk space and a fast network
-connection, CVS checkouts are also supported:
+CVS checkouts are also supported:
$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@pserver.git.sv.gnu.org:/gnulib.git co -d gnulib HEAD
-CVS checkouts from before 2007-09-19 can be converted to the new read-only CVS
-location through commands like these:
- $ find . -name Root -exec sed --in-place 's|.*|:pserver:anonymous@pserver.git.sv.gnu.org:/gnulib.git|' {} ';'
- $ find . -name Repository -exec sed --in-place 's|^gnulib|/srv/git/gnulib.git/HEAD|' {} ';'

Gnulib is hosted on savannah.gnu.org. The project page is
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnulib.
The best way to work with Gnulib is to check it out of git.
Subscribing to the bug-gnulib@gnu.org mailing list will help you to
plan when to update your local copy of Gnulib (which you use to
-maintain your software) from git. To synchronize, you can use "git pull"
-or "cg update", or "cvs update -dP" if you are still using CVS.

Sometimes, using an updated version of Gnulib will require you to use
newer versions of GNU Automake or Autoconf. You may find it helpful
