Hi,

Unfortunately the qtwebkit pointed at by qt5.git is outdated and known
not to work.  Maybe it makes sense to remove it.  (IMHO qtwebkit there
is not making sense since it is more of a "project which uses Qt" and
not "part of the Qt Project").

For now, the easiest way for you to proceed would be to pass -no-webkit
to init-repository, or `rm -rf qtwebkit' if you already have it.
