That's because you are pulling as root (not a good thing to do), and you
are trying to log into the master.kernel.org machine.
I used that kind of git url because it is easier for Linus to pull that
way, as he has an account on that machine.

What's with the linux-usb-git stuff?

Well, just pull from Linus's tree now, as he has taken all of these
changes in his :)
Otherwise, you can pull from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb-2.6.git
and get these changes.
Note the "git.kernel.org" and not "master.kernel.org" name, that's the
problem here.
And again, DO NOT DO THIS AS ROOT! many bad things might happen, you
should never need to do things as root when doing kernel development
(except to install a built kernel.)
