Hi Keith,

I'm not sure about that error with git, but if you want to install
speakup, I recommend these steps until we get the patch into the kernel.

Clone the repository somewhere other than inside the kernel tree (say
your home directory, or /usr/src).
For example, to put it in your home dir do this:

cd
git clone http://linux-speakup.org/speakup.git

Once that is done, make sure that /usr/src/linux points to the kernel
you want to install speakup into.  Then, cd into the speakup directory
that was created by the git clone command and as root run ./install.
I use sudo for this, so I would do the following:

cd ~/speakup
sudo ./install

Let me know if you have any questions.
