New description:

 Using the current ET_2010_11 GetComponents with
 https://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/manifest/branches/ET_2010_11/einsteintoolkit.th
 gives the error message:

 fatal: git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching
 branches.

 for three repositories:

   Unable to process KrancNumericalTools/GenericFD
   Unable to process McLachlan/doc
   Unable to process Carpet/doc

 However, they are the first of each git-block, so this seems to be a
 general git problem. I don't get anything looking like ET_2010_11 in
 .git/config, so I assume switching to the branch didn't work. Either this
 is a problem in GetComponents, or the branches are really not there (how
 can I check this?)
