Works fine!  I'm about to try to fire it up on our new Virtex 5 board (PPC

I took a look at the GIT repository at http://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/ (I'm
getting "Internal Server Error" about half the time I try looking at a file;
the second attempt usually works.  Is this expected?) and everything looks to
be in order except for the ChangeLog files.

I haven't been able to figure out how fetch the HEAD, not being GIT savvy. 
Would you mind giving me the command?
