Well, several possibilities here.

a. There is a bug pending within tooltips archive, I just pinged them again.  Somehow the file x3d-3.1.profileCroatian.xml got corrupted (even though not active) and their help is needed to fix it.

b. You don't need the whole tree of everything, primarily just the stylesheets/ subtree and can check out from there.

c. For relative dependencies on a full build such as tooltips, we can work on an alternate build path if needed for you to fully build/test locally.  Most directories are indicated via properties in build.xmlx and we can just generalize things further.

Sorry I have no way to tell - SourceForge itself will be much better at providing guidance help and support.

all the best, Don
