After you did the initial 'git clone', did you explicitly change to
the 0.0.9 tag, or did you leave it on the 'master' branch? The Git
repository's master branch is *not* currently equivalent to the 0.0.9
release (using master is like tracking trunk on an SVN repo) as many
changes have been made, such as the config.* method versus
set()/get().

So, depending on how you want to be using Fabric, you should either
make sure you've downloaded the 0.0.9 release from e.g.
easy_install/PyPI, or keep tracking the Git repo but refer to it as
'master' or 'the Git repo' or similar, instead of using a version
number :)

It'd be great if you could update your blog entry once you've figured
out exactly what version of the code you're on / would like to be on
-- that way any new folks reading it won't get confused.

As Christian said, though, overall it was a great entry -- many thanks
for writing it!!
