I would like to help you with that but I can't retrieve the repository:

$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/qgit/qgit4.git qgit4.git
Initialized empty Git repository in d:/devel/git/qgit4/qgit4.git/.git/

fatal: unable to connect a socket (Bad file descriptor)
fetch-pack from 'git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/qgit/qgit4.git' failed.

This looks familiar.  It happens when there was no response to the 4 IPs 
of git.kernel.org.  This might be due to a firewall which blocks git://

Cannot get remote repository information. Perhaps 
git-update-server-info needs to be run there?

Well, perhaps, but to clone with git protocol you don't need that.

It is generally a good idea to provide the server-info for dumb protocols, 
because not everybody is fortunate enough (like you, evidently, because 
you do not seem to care all that much...) to control her outbound firewall 
restrictions.
