I was trying to clone the git repository this morning and it fails every time:

$ git clone http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git git defaulting to local storage area got 953e5842f8fcd40c3e7013a9793746719016db1b got 394b750a6e25c2f085d950dbe04368e212f07ad8 got 86b13da46cd710a45a89968880c691452d5b70b4 got 245f54e050b65126ec28e82508a1b4e187ca8728 [...] got 1bd90415deccc4562e0fb4d0f8e58140aa687ac1 got cc4dc346498b450c18b09f63800ac28c07064c52 got 2a54cff3fe9de4828730e3ad1c32217abb2c2731 got 15891f81e0fa99333ad81e9271df5b2a72ba368e error: Couldn't get http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/refs/heads/dbrt-test for heads/dbrt-test

I tried this a couple of times this morning (an hour apart) to find out whether it was just some mirroring glitch, but the error prevailed. What's wrong?

I'm using git compiled earlier this week on Debian unstable.

Tried to repro, but takes ageson my puny cablemodem. Cloning via rsync seems to work well though.

Rsync works for me also. But HTTP is still broken.

Sorry, a broken repo. Fix made on master should percolate through soonish.
