Be sure to clone the branch 'next' from FlightGear and SimGear. This is the 
branch for the latest changes.

git clone --depth 1 myurl

Quote from the manpage:
--depth <depth> 
Create a shallow clone with a history truncated to the specified number of 
revisions. A shallow repository has a number of limitations (you cannot clone 
or fetch from it, nor push from nor into it), but is adequate if you are only 
interested in the recent history of a large project with a long history, and 
would want to send in fixes as patches.
