How about getting an account on kernel.org?

I don't think I have the credentials to ask for ;-)

Anyway, here is what I did:
paolo@Italia:~$ cg-clone
http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/scm/qgit.git qgit defaulting to

Why am I getting this error?
error: File 8dea03519e75f47da91108330dde3043defddd60

Because http server of digilander.libero.it instead of responding with
404 code (page not
found) sends a not standard html page as answer. To see the page just point
your browser to:
http://digilander.libero.it /mcostalba/scm/qgit.git/objects/8d/ea03519e75f47d

Git does not understand object is missing and thinks what site sends
_is_ the requested
object and then founds that is (of course) corrupted.
