Hi all.  Git is a version control system written by Linus.  It's sort of
like cvs or svn.  Anyway the folks trying to modify Speakup so it can be
a part of the standard kernel are using it.  When Kirk deems the git
source stable enough for general access he will make it available from
the Speakup cvs site.  As of now, it's very unstable.
