 Sporadically the rtems source builder fails with a error message like the
 following:

 {{{
 ...
 package: rtems-tools-HEAD-1
 git: reset: git://git.rtems.org/rtems-tools.git
 git: fetch: git://git.rtems.org/rtems-tools.git -> sources/git/rtems-
 tools.git
 error: git command failed (/usr/bin/git): 128
 Build FAILED

 error: git command failed (/usr/bin/git): 128

 }}}

 The error report in rsb-report-rtems-tools-HEAD-1.txt isn't really useful
 in that case:

 {{{
 ...
 script: 81: build_top=$(pwd)
 script: 82: rtems_tools_source="rtems-tools.git"
 script: 83: source_dir_rtems_tools=${rtems_tools_source}
 source setup: rtems-tools-HEAD-1: source rtems-tools -q -n
 ${rtems_tools_source}
 making dir: /home/EB/christian_m/Projekte/grisp-software/rtems-source-
 builder/rtems/sources/git
 git: reset: git://git.rtems.org/rtems-tools.git
 git: fetch: git://git.rtems.org/rtems-tools.git -> sources/git/rtems-
 tools.git
 error: git command failed (/usr/bin/git): 128
 }}}

 I assume that the git fetch went wrong for some reason. That's really
 annoying because it happens after the quite time consuming build of gcc.

 Please correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know, a download in advance
 wouldn't do this git command. Therefore this bug can't be triggered before
 the build.

 I'm not that familiar with that step of the RSB but would it be possible
 to to download a tar.bz2-snapshot of the correct commit from our git
 server instead of doing a git clone? The git web interface shows a URL
 like the following for every commit:
     https://git.rtems.org/rtems-tools/snapshot/rtems-tools-
 9f34b38edf2a235e8d41c3265b146b0b1a4da252.tar.bz2

 With that it would be possible to do all downloads in advance and then do
 the build without the risk that some download goes wrong during the build.
