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,

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.
