Part of the problem may be that the extension distribution scripts have not yet been set up to work with git. For the old svg repository, we had an extension on mediawiki.org where you could select the extension and desired version, and would get a zip or tar archive. Many links still point that way, but it doesn't work for extensions in git (or at least not for all of them, I don't know the details).
Anyway. ULS is still experimental and under heavy development, so there are no stable versions. You'll have to install it directly from git, and hope the current master branch works for you.
@lydia: we should have an "install from gid" guide too... do we?
I don't think we do. We do have http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Development/Setup that links to mediawiki.org among others. Lukas: Maybe you want to give the Vagrant setup linked there a try if you're still having trouble after Daniel's explanation?
