I am behind a proxy that does not allow the use of git://. So I need to checkout using git over http. For this, I have already set my proxy in git using, 

git config --global http.proxy http://172.30.0.16:3128

However, I am able to clone only a few repos, while on others I am getting an error. For example:

git clone http://github.com/jcnetdev/yubnub.git

works perfectly fine, while

https://github.com/ferhatelmas/InterviewStreet.git

this returns the following error

Cloning into InterviewStreet...
warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

On running git clone http://anongit.kde.org/calligra I get the following error 

Cloning into calligra...
error: The requested URL returned error: 502 while accessing http://anongit.kde.org/calligra/info/refs

Can you please help me.

  • Well, in that case, the clone from KDE should have worked as well. – uyetch Feb 09 '12 at 01:35
  • Cloning InterviewStreet worked fine for me. Have you set up your ssh keys properly? – Saurav Feb 09 '12 at 01:36
  • @Saurav: I tried cloning interview street over HTTP and it worked. Problem seems to be with cloning Calligra from KDE. I cannot use ssh as I am behind a proxy that allows only HTTP. – uyetch Feb 09 '12 at 01:38

    I can't clone the kde one either. It appears that the problem is exactly what the error states; their site isn't responding. – Brian Roach Feb 09 '12 at 01:38
  • @BrianRoach: thanks for checking, I shall ask KDE about this problems in the IRC and add a tag "KDE" to this question. – uyetch Feb 09 '12 at 01:40

Reinstalling git solved the problem for me for the same issue

I found out that the problem was with the KDE git hosting which had only partial HTTP support.
