How to use git bash in windows for cloning an Android project

Question

I want to create an IME for android in arabic language.
I needed some reference and found this : https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/inputmethods/LatinIME/+/master/java/res

Now I wanted to clone one of the directory trees onto my system as it was said there.

I installed git on windows and I got a 'git bash' icon. I opened it , what it asked and got this error :

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Now I am clueless.
How should I download that source?

What command did you run, exactly? – Cascabel Jan 22 '11 at 15:34 — Cascabel, Jan 22 '11 at 15:34
