How to download eclair sources from repo

I've tried both of the following:

repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b android-2.1
repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b eclair

      

        
        
        
      

    

Both give the same output:

Getting repo ...
   from git://android.git.kernel.org/tools/repo.git
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

      

        
        
        
      

    

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

fyi I tried again at 0700 uk time and worked great this time

$ repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b eclair
Getting repo ...
