Sorry, but this is not a description of your problem helpful enough for someone who is willing to look at it, I am afraid. http://www.kernel.org/ has 80 or so repos (I counted about a month ago so it may probably have more by now) --- which ones?

I have local repositories used only to test pulling into them, and I pull from Linus 2.6 kernel, and my own git repository, every other day or so, but haven't seen breakage, so I do not think it is http://www.kernel.org/. in general. If some particular repository is not set up HTTP friendly I would understand.

Also how does it fail? Does cloning from scratch succeed but updating a repo that was in sync a few days ago fail? Does it die silently and you find the breakage by running fsck-object, or does it fail loudly with error messages? If the latter what does it say?
