 Gnulib is available for anonymous checkout.  In any Bourne-shell the
 following should work:
+  $ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib
+Or, if you prefer the CVS-like 'cogito' frontend to plain 'git':
+  $ cg clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib
 
-$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnulib login

-$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnulib checkout gnulib
