Subject: Unable to make git with https support
Message-ID: <CADjGbJq_HL--_CAuE_Yj3B0srx=WDficot8bgadvW92zz9PJdg@mail.gmail.com>

I'm trying to make git for myself, but can't seem to get https
working. This is what I did to make it:

> wget http://git-core.googlecode.com/files/git-1.7.9.3.tar.gz
> tar -xf git-1.7.9.3.tar.gz
> cd git-1.7.9.3.tar.gz
> ./configure --with-curl --prefix=$HOME
> make
> make install

In a new shell

> git clone https://github.com/git/git.git
Cloning into 'git'...
fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'

But my machine does have curl, and that curl can access https urls

> which curl
/usr/bin/curl
> curl --version
curl 7.19.0 (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8h
zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.10
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap http file https ftps
Features: GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz
> curl https://github.com/git/git.git
<GitHub 404 page, no https error message>

Thanks, Nate
