git, rsync, and firewalls...

[Don Hiatt]

Any ideas on how you would go about doing the initial git clone if
rsync is blocked? Of course I could do it at home and then carry
it back but all those bits get awful heavy.. :) Is it possible to
use wget to grab the repository?

Cheers,

don

Hmm,

This is no good:

cg-clone http://www.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/linux.git linux-mips.git
defaulting to local storage area

cg (cogito) are wrapper scripts around git...  Something's no good...  the
rsync method bombs out at 97% - just hangs....

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Damian

Use a sufficiently new git, and raw git instead of cogito (as described
in the wiki page at www.linux-mips.org). At least this works for me.

I've seen rsync hanging like this frequently when certain types of
firewall configurations were involved.  The #1 troublemaker have been
certain older Cisco PIX versions but there are others.

Anyway, cloning via http works fine, I've just verified that.
