I just tried this, and it does indeed work. I had to build v1.0.0 with make NO_OPENSSL=Nope I think the issue is that some old code embedded openssl's BIGNUM in a struct, and later versions of openssl stopped publicly defining the types. I was able to clone git://github.com/git/git with the result, though of course it chokes no the sha1collisiondetection submodule. You can still use "git log", though, and checkout older commits. -Peff
