attempting to clone the git repo

attempting to clone the git repo

[Andrew Kilroy]

Hi,

I'm attempting to clone the git repository using git-1.5.0.3 in my workplace.
Port 9418's blocked by the firewall, so I'm trying via http:

    $ git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
    Initialized empty Git repository in /home/akilroy/workspace/git/.git/
    Cannot get remote repository information.
    Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?

Is there a problem at the server?  I've tried this before using an old version
of git, and that worked (1.4.4.4 I think).

Thanks,
Andy

Add a "/" to the end:

$ git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/

Hth,

Sorry. After trying: this does no longer work. Evidently, something 
changed (gitweb says http://git.kernel.org//git/git.git (sic!) is correct 
now, but it is not).

Sorry again,

I've always thought that for http transfer the hostname was not
git.kernel.org but www.kernel.org, as in:

	git clone http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/

That worked, thanks.

I thought there were more branches though (pu, todo...).  I can only
see master via 'git branch'.  I'm not that familiar with git yet, so I
might be missing something obvious here.

Use
	git branch -r   # shows the remote branches
or
	gitk --all 	# --all = show every branch

to see all the branches.
