Note that the line shown is using pulling as the 
D-Programming-Language organization, so only members there will 
have such access. You could use the read only version:

git://github.com/D-Programming-Language/tools.git

I might suggest using:

git clone -o upstream 
git://github.com/D-Programming-Language/tools.git

for cloning a new repository. This would allow developers to add 
their fork of the repository as origin (Default remote name). So 
now the update script would have to pull from upstream instead of 
origin to do the update... This will be a common setup for not 
D-Programming-Language organization members.
