yes, I think that's it. It is exactly the same OpenSolaris repo, only 
difference being that you clone over http while I had to use ssh.

In the bug report, someone mentioned the problem occurs when applying file 
changes.

Do you think using the '-U' option ("do not update the new working 
directory") for cloning would work?
