[ros-users] OS X Electric rosinstall

[Tully Foote]

Hi William,

This looks like the git syntax on OSX may be slightly different.  I just
tested your command on my machine.  The code to look at is vcs/git.py in
rosinstall which comes from the vcstools package.  I expect that there might
need to be a special case added for OSX.  Or there might have been a hiccup
in you connection like here?
