+ $ 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 .
+Then, instead of the URL
+ git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib
+use the URL
+ ssh://<user>@git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/gnulib
+where <user> is your login name on savannah.gnu.org.

+For those among us who have tightly limited disk space and a fast network
+connection, 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.
+
+Keeping Up-to-date
+==================
+
+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
+to join the autotools-announce mailing list to be advised of such
+changes.
