I believe the command that it failed on is trying to list all the tags for git://github.com/components/polymer.git. I think there are a couple possible issues:
1. Github may have been down. They can be sporadic at times. 2. You may be behind a firewall that blocks the use of SSH and git:// urls. When you used git to clone the project did you use https://github.com/components/polymer.git or [email protected]:components/polymer.git ?
