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

Sorry, I am afraid I cannot do that right now because I use the gmane news interface and I don't have access to my smtp from here. If it is too irritating I'll wait up until I go back home before I answer. In any case, sorry for the inconvenience.

Yes, it works! Thanks and sorry for the mixup, I just copied and pasted the link without thinking.
