This looks familiar.  It happens when there was no response to the 4 IPs 
of git.kernel.org.  This might be due to a firewall which blocks git://

It is generally a good idea to provide the server-info for dumb protocols, 
because not everybody is fortunate enough (like you, evidently, because 
you do not seem to care all that much...) to control her outbound firewall 
restrictions.
