Hi Aubery,

If you have a SOCKS server somewhere you could use socksify to get a clone with the git native protocol.

Cheers, Emil.

Linus packs his refs, which means that currently you can't clone using http, with any version of git.

Try http://repo.or.cz/r/linux-2.6.git/ instead? This appears to be a straight clone, but without packed refs.
