Searching http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/klibc
learned that http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/klibc/cvsroot contains
empty directories.

I was hoping to find something like
|To clone the repository for your own development, install the git-core
|and cogito software packages, and run:
|
|    mkdir working-directory
|    cd working-directory
|    cg-clone -s http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/boot/syslinux/syslinux.git
|
|You can then make changes and cg-commit them to your own repository,
|thus maintaining a parallel branch of development. Furthermore, you can
|use the command cg-update origin to update your tree with upstream
|changes. The gitk tool will show you a visual history of the repository.
|
|For more information about GIT, see an overview, the tutorial, or the
|man pages.
|
|For more information about Cogito, a user-friendly wrapper around git
|developed by Petr Baudis, see the documentation
as found on http://syslinux.zytor.com/devel.php

So what I missing the in README is the URL for `cg-clone -s `


Cheers
