The upstream mirror was down for some time today... can you check again?
Also note that I will likely migrate to git-r3 eclass soon and you will likely have to refetch the sources...
Also note that if you set TRINITY_GIT_MIRROR the submodules will be downloaded from the main mirror anyway. I don't know a way to bypass it...
You can change the eclass to do Git Pull from http://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/{...}. The problem is that the Gentoo's ebuild will see the .gitmodules file, which is still pointing to scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-common-admin instead of the mirror. We could certainly work around this be doing a sed on the .gitmodules ourselves, but to do so requires rewriting the git eclass.
I don't foresee migrating to git-r3 eclass would fix this issue.

Yes, it's a general draw back of using submodules: there is no sane way to tell to git that they were mirrored... But cmake and admin are relatively small so this is IMHO not a big deal that they are getting updated from the slower mirror...
The most that should be done is a line to be dropped into TRINITY_GIT_MIRROR description about that or it may be consider as a strictly internal variable...

Firstly, I don't want to alter and maintain a copy of a git eclass here.
Secondly, I'm not yet sure that this will workout just that easy anyway...

I suppose you are right, moreover due to they removed EGIT_PROJECT there will be not possible to alter mirrors at all and if kde guys will migrate too this will likely result in conflicts, so I'm still not sure that I will finally do this...
The bug is treversome outdated... cloasing...
