It's not up to date w.r.t to Linus tree, or at least the attempt I
logged above wasn't.

I tried the http url initialy on an older git version, but it wouldn't
download with http or ftp on that git version. So I just stuck with ftp.
I can give it another try with http .

The other issue is that after the above failure git ends up telling me
repeatedly that the tree is corrupted.

Does you server list anything wrong happening, cause those 550 errors
seem pretty suspect. It could also be some sort of firewall thing on my
end. I'm assuming no one else has reported anything like this before
right?
