They are most likely broken because the machine that
developer.postgresql.org was upgraded without testing, and has broken
completely now. It's been expected for a while, but it's now reached
the point where the git command doesn't work. This broke the snapshot
builds on the same machine. I haven't verified if they're what broke
the dev docs, but it's almost certain.

It's almost there. Based on current plans, we hope to have the
developer docs up and running early next week. (Actually, didn't
realize they were broken - it's just that their new location is
planned to go live next week, which will implicitly fix this problem)
