I'm more than happy to try and find a way to share git.yoctoproject.org over http for cloning, that shouldn't be too hard. I'll see if I can get something working next week although I'm meant to be taking some vacation too. For push access over https, that is a lot more difficult as it is unlikely to integrate well with our access control system. I'd need to do more reading before I could really comment on that. It appears changes in git support it better at least. Cheers, Richard
