Hi, I am newbie to GIT and facing some problem with the GIT usage. I am trying to clone a repository at www.linux-mips.org with the following command, I get error message as below: ************************************************************************** [root@sshyamal git-tutorial]# git clone git://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/linux-malta.git linux-malta.git git: warning: invalid extra options ignored GNU Interactive Tools 4.3.20 (i686-pc-linux-gnu), 12:39:46 Apr 18 2006 GIT is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) any later version.

I have browsed through FAQs/archived mails but haven't come across appropriate solution to this. Can anyone please let me know the problem cause for this issue?
