RE: git clone problem through HTTP

Hi Aubery,


If you have a SOCKS server somewhere you could use socksify to get a
clone with the git native protocol.


Cheers,
Emil.

Linus packs his refs, which means that currently you can't clone using 
http, with any version of git.

Try http://repo.or.cz/r/linux-2.6.git/ instead?  This appears to be a 
straight clone, but without packed refs.
