Folks, As someone who runs a git server _and_ reads their log files, I would like to offer a few words of advice about cloning or fetching git repositories.
First, watch those project path names carefully. If someone publishes a "linux-2.6-quux.git" repository, don't call it the "linux-2.6.git" repository in your clone or fetch request. And, oddly, don't call it "linux-2.6.quux.git" either! :-) Second, upgrade your git installation. I repeatedly see failed clone requests due to outdated git clients trying to do a clone or a fetch. If you _know_ you have the clone path to the project right, and it still doesn't seem to work, chance are very good that you are using a git earlier than v1.4.2. It is now time to find something v1.5 or better. 1.5.3 is due out Real Soon Now! I publish a _few_ repositories, and I see maybe 20 or 30 such failed clone/fetch requests per day. I hate to imagine what the failure rate on kernel.org is!
