I tested the proxy code from a place when the git:// port is blocked.

1) I made a ssh socks tunel (ssh -D 2080 a-remote-server).
2) I compiled connect.c from 
http://zippo.taiyo.co.jp/~gotoh/ssh/connect.html
3) I created a simple script called myproxy:

#!/bin/sh

/path/to/connect -S localhost:2080 $@

4) GIT_PROXY_COMMAND=/path/to/myproxy
cg-clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git git2 worked perfectly

4bis) % cat .git/config [core] gitproxy = /path/to/myproxy for kernel.org

cg update worked perfectly.
