Okay, I get the same error here. Fishy. But then, this is not the correct URL either (so I think Peff's patch probably fixes it).

What you tried is the gitweb URL, which explicitely says

	Mirror URL	git://repo.or.cz/msysgit.git

			http://repo.or.cz/r/msysgit.git

IOW replace your "/w/" by "/r/" and have fun, Dscho
