In Fedora 17 With git-1.7.11.7-1.fc17.x86_64 (rpm)

I try to clone a particular repository but git just returns, having
not cloned the repo. Seems like a bug. Details follow:
  $ git clone http://gnuradio.org/git/gnuradio.git
While the command fails a message is logged to syslog. Repeated
attempts to clone the repo yield the same result:
  Oct 11 21:38:25 localhost kernel: [662703.442645]

A tcpdump reveals that the last thing the client does is requests a
file that doesn't exist on the server (404). Details are in my post on

Problem mitigated by downgrade to "git-1.7.10.1-1.fc17.x86_64" or "git-1.7.11.4-3.fc17.x86_64" or try to clone a different repository.
