Someone please turn on the http protocol on git.kernel.org!

Someone please turn on the http protocol on git.kernel.org!

[Timur Tabi]

I see we now have a dedicate machine for the git server.  That's great.  How about turning 
on the http protocol so that those of use behind a firewall can clone trees?

I get this:

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

I'm using git 1.5.0.2.  I have the same problem with git 1.4.4.

When I use my web browser to view http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git.git, I get an error 404.

Actually, I meant http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git, but the problem still exists.

Works fine.

Thanks!  That works.  git.kernel.org is still down, but this will do in the meantime.

Don't use the git server for that, please.  Use 
http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/... instead.

Another unfortunate stuck behind a firewall here.  When I try this it chugs
along for a while seeming to work but eventually aborts:

I just tried it and got the same error, so it looks like something is wrong on the server.

Isn't 2.6.11 around the time that Linus moved to git?  Maybe the server can't find tag for 
the initial check-in of the code.

Aren't the older commits in another git tree?  Like maybe 

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git

git-clone http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git works 
for me, so that can't be it.

v2.6.12-rc2, in fact. If you want to look at v2.6.11 in git you'll need to
look at the bkcvs tree.

This would be because the tag v2.6.11 points to a nonexistant object in
the repository.

I see these from time to time too, when pulling through http. Using the `other'
www.kernel.org (try www1.kernel.org vs. www2.kernel.org) usually fixes the
problem. I guess the mirroring is not perfect.
