The url I gave wasn't a git clone address, it was gitweb.

That tree is rather dated and no longer maintained, but hey,
looks like it got you far enough along. There are some hdpvr
driver fixes that went in after it stopped being maintained,
iirc, some of which are relevant to mythtv, so if you encounter
issues w/your hdpvr, you might revisit the git route.
