Re: git clone problem through HTTP

I'm behind of a firewall on which the git port is not permitted, so I
can only use http protocol. Unfortunately, I can't clone linus' git
tree at all. I've tried

git version 1.4.4.2
git version 1.4.4.4
git version 1.5.0.1
git version 1.5.0.4
git version 1.5.0.6
git version 1.5.1.1,

none of them work. The following is the error.

        $ git init
        $ git remote add origin http://.../linux-2.6.git
	$ git config branch.master.remote origin
	$ git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master
        $ git fetch
        $ git merge origin

should work, because I knew about this problem and fixed it in
git-fetch in v1.5.0.

Alas, I forgot to update the matching code in git-clone.

This is why I keep saying that we should get rid of as much code
from git-clone, and make it essentially a thin wrapper around
the six commands I quoted above.
