[Buildroot] git access via http

[Phil Edworthy]

Hi,

I just tried cloning the Buildroot repo via http but git just sits there
after printing out "Initialized empty Git repository in
/home/user/buildroot/.git/"

I'm using git 1.6.6 and have no problems accessing github repos via http.
Any ideas why this doesn't work?

Thanks
Phil

Hmm, seems like git-over-http was never set up by the osuosl.org
people. Is this important for you? The native git protocol is a lot
better.

Yes, but in some companies, the policy is to acces the "internet" only
through http/https proxies. Some even disallow the 'CONNECT' command to
anything else but http/https/ftp, and do not offer socks proxies. These
rule out anything but plain http/ftp.

So, having buildroot's git available through http would be nice, IMHO.

Ok, I'll ask the osuosl guys to set it up.

It's finally up and running and the git page on the website has been
updated.
