Comment(by dustin):

 OK, I'm done with the changes on my branch, so you can take it back.  As
 for fetching from a remote repository, there are a few small things you're
 getting wrong.  First, the URL you're using is a regular HTML page - you
 want to use git://github.com/djmitche/buildbot.git instead.  Second, fetch
 is designed to bring a 'remote' up to date, and that might be overkill.
 Here's how you would set up that remote, though:
 {{{
 git remote add djmitche git://github.com/djmitche/buildbot.git
 git fetch djmitche
 }}}
 However, since all you want to do is pull my changes into your branch, you
 can just do this:
 {{{
 git pull git://github.com/djmitche/buildbot.git bug959
 }}}
 No fuss, no mas.  The command will do a fast-forward in this particular
 case - meaning it just appends my commits to your commits - but if
 necessary it will perform a merge.  This is, in fact, how I pull others'
 buildbot patches into the master repository.
