With above usage on GIT_PROXY_COMMAND, I still have
problem on connection with remote git repository.

I also tried setting http_proxy directly but the same
result. It's first usage of git in our network. Well, 
need I enable the git port 9418 at proxy server? Or 
did I miss sth or what?

I use git-2006-05-14.tar.gz package on FC3. 

Method I : Use GIT_PROXY_COMMAND

[root@sam u-boot]# git clone \
git://www.denx.de/git/u-boot.git u-boot-denx.git

fatal: exec failed
fetch-pack from 'git://www.denx.de/git/u-boot.git' 
failed.

[root@sam u-boot]# git clone \
http://parisc-linux.org/git/linux-2.6.git/ parisc-2.6

Cannot get remote repository information.
Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?
[root@sam u-boot]#

/usr/local/bin/proxy-cmd.sh 

#! /bin/bash

(echo "CONNECT $1:$2 HTTP/1.0";echo;cat) | socket
<um> <pwd> 192.168.40.99 80 | (read a;read a;cat)

Method II : Use http_proxy directly

[root@sam u-boot]# export \
http_proxy="http://<username>:<pwd>@192.168.40.99:80"
[root@sam u-boot]# git clone \ 
http://parisc-linux.org/git/linux-2.6.git/ parisc-2.6

Cannot get remote repository information.
Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?

[root@sam u-boot]# git clone \
git://www.denx.de/git/u-boot.git u-boot-denx.git
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed 
out)
fetch-pack from 'git://www.denx.de/git/u-boot.git' 
failed.
[root@sam u-boot]#

Thanks in advance,

Sam

P.S. I forward this thread from LKML for better 
discussion. Hope Petr wouldn't mind.
