[Qgis-developer] git clone through http proxy without ssh

[Andreas Neumann]

 Hi,

 I am trying to git clone through our https proxy with no luck. It seems 
 it requires port 22 to be open for checkout, but this port is closed at 
 my employer.

 Here is the message I get:

 git clone git at github.com:qgis/Quantum-GIS.git
 Initialized empty Git repository in /home/an/dev/Quantum-GIS/.git/
 ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out
 fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

 Does git really require an ssh connection or is there a workaround?

 btw - the following env vars are set:
 $HTTP_PROXY
 $http_proxy
 $HTTPS_PROXY
 $https_proxy

 SVN works without a problem.

 Thanks if you have any hints,
 Andreas
