Hi James,

You can view a summary of change sets here:

  http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git

gnulib is similar:

  http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git

On that page, it lists some URLs, which you can "clone" to get a local
copy (avoid the http:// one if you can, because that protocol is less
efficient, and some older git clients malfunction with them):

Most people want read access, so use this command:

    git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutils.git

That creates a directory named "coreutils" in your working directory.
Or, you can choose the destination dir name:

    git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutils.git  SOME_OTHER_NAME

Then, "cd coreutils" and run "git pull" to download the latest changes
from the net, and merge them into your local copy.
