Has anyone tried accessing the git repository using http?

I am behind a corporate proxy.  The git port is not available, but http is.  
Reading the git FAQ for wine, git can use http if the url is changed from 
"git:" to "http:" and continuing as normal.  When I did this for wine's git 
repository, I was able to download it.  However, when I try to download 
DirectFB over http I get an error.

These are the commands I ran:

> export http_proxy=http://proxyserver:proxyport
> git clone http://git.directfb.org/git/directfb/core/DirectFB.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/DirectFB/.git/
warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.


I am using Ubuntu - Intrepid and git 1.5.6.3

Anyone have an idea what might be happening?
