hello! with a firewall blocking outgoing connections to port 9418 a git clone git://... of git 1.6.6 seems to never return, i.e. loop forever. in my rather automated environment (gentoo's tool layman calling git) this behavior is rather troublesome - i need some kind of abort-and-error instead: what i'm trying to do is loop over a number of clone URL alternatives of the same repository like .. git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/dev/dberkholz.git http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitroot/dev/dberkholz.git git+ssh://git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/dev/dberkholz.git .. and stop at the first clone that returns without error. are there means to make git fail in such a case or to apply a timout? if not please consider adding a related commandline option to git-clone. thank you. sebastian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
