[Buildroot] Git download is currently broken

[Buildroot] Git download is currently broken

[Thiago A. Corrêa]

Hi,

     I've noticed that the generic-package Git download method is
broken, but I haven't been able to figure out why. Even packages
already included in buildroot will download from the buildroot.net
mirror instead of git.

     This is what I get from a package I'm trying to submit for
inclusion, which of course isn't in the buildroot.net mirror (below)
     Any help would be apreciated. Thanks.

Kind Regards,
     Thiago A. Correa

  Works for me (tried with can-utils).

  Can you run buildroot with 'make V=1' to see how git is called?  The
output is very difficult to parse, but somewhere in that huge shell line
there should be something like:

... git clone --bare git://... qtserial-e831107f468618881e435932c8a42404c1dde13c

Ah, I see the problem now. My configuration for git command had "git
clone" when it should be just git. Thanks for the hint :)
