Am I missing something?

Dear diary, on Mon, Jul 18, 2005 at 12:49:04AM CEST, I got a letter
where Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> told me that...

That's puzzling. Try just

	rsync -a rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git /usr/local/src/git

which should fail too and indicates that something must be weird on your
side since it apparently works for the rest of the world. ;-) Try
upgrading rsync, check if it really connects to the real
rsync.kernel.org and such...

This is unfortunately normal now.

Thanks for the tip. You are right. This  was  caused  by  an  unlucky
change to one of our firewall rules ;-(
