git through a firewall

git through a firewall

[Gerard Jungman]

Does anybody have a clue how to run git through
a firewall? The savannah server only provides a
'git:' protocol for the GSL repository, and it
seems impossible to make that work.

Is there an http doorway as well? I can find
no evidence of one, so I am guessing not. But
if there was, than I would at least be able
to check out and follow updates.

It looks like there is an HTTP access:

git clone http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/gsl.git

but I'm not sure if its read-only or if you can give a username to get 
write access too. See

http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/UsingGit/

for some more information. I can email the savannah admins (or you can) 
to ask for more help if this doesn't work for you

Aha. This works. Thanks.
I'll worry about 'push' access another day.

In my defense, I tried this recently and it failed.
But there may have been another problem blocking it.

Thanks again.
