I have already seen students hit by some firewall restrictions like that on their campus.Does anyone know how to tell if a given https:// hosted GIT repo is using the old dumb style or new smart style HTTP GIT transfer protocol. If we can see savannah is using the smart style, it probably makes sense for us to just switch libvirt to refer to gnulib via an https:// URI by default. That way we avoid these problems for new comers or people with nasty firewalls.
Since the following succeeds: curl --head https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git/info/refs\?service\=git-upload-pack I think it's the smart protocol. Even without --head it looks like it sends the correct data. ACK to changing it.
I think we can do this by applying the change in the .gitmodules file - url = git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib.git + url = https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git
I think the question was not how to do it. This is fine for new clones, but if you want an existing one to use it, you need to change the fetch url for the submodule in .git/config as well.
