Argh.  Sometimes .git makes a difference:

dzu at ohwell:tmp[2]$ git clone http://git.denx.de/u-boot-ppc4xx.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/u-boot-ppc4xx/.git/
Getting alternates list for http://git.denx.de/u-boot-ppc4xx.git
Also look at http://git.denx.de/u-boot.git/
Getting pack list for http://git.denx.de/u-boot-ppc4xx.git
Getting index for pack 06eefc330404f9a6889dd23a2f7ba36f5ab322f1
.....

Cheers
