You need to check out the tor-browser-builder-2 branch:

git clone -b tor-browser-builder-2 https://git.torproject.org/builders/gitian-builder.git

If you check out /builders/tor-browser-bundle.git first, and run "make"
in the gitian directory, it will tell you all the things you need to
install (it's where I copied that command from).
