What wen't wrong with your attempts on using tla. I was a bit scared in 
the beginning too, but with some tips I got it running.

This is what I had to-do

tla register-archive http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/arch


and then for the stable branch

tla get pd cipherfunk org--projects/garnome--timmy--2.6.0

and for the expirimental branch

tla get jdub perkypants org--projects/garnome--kenny--2.7

Mhhh, I hope that building the stable branch will solve your problems 
here :-)
