That worked well.  I don't need the full repository.  I just want to
read the current source code.  It turns out I was able to clone the
whole thing, but I had to upgrade the AWS virtual machine from the $3.5
one to the $10 one.  (I did not try the $5 one.)  There must be
resource-quotas that somehow did not let the cloning take place.  I
don't know how it works.  Thanks very much.
