If I don't go via the ssh tunnel (I finally have some VPN stuff these

used to):

-            url = [localhost:2223]:blink.git
+            url = git:blink.git

... it works fine.

Until you get a proper fix, I wonder if this will help:

  git config --global --add url."git:".insteadOf  "[localhost:2223]:"

See "git help config" for details on the insteadOf config setting.
