I am starting to use GIT and I would be grateful for a simple answer to a specific situation to help me find the right ball-park. a.) Does the communication that takes place between a GIT `client` and a remote GIT `repository` involve 'ssh' traffic? Our connections here are heavily censored and ssh traffic is suppressed most of the time which is why I need to figure out why a simple $ git clone git://<URL> command chokes to a halt and freezes most of the time ( the same command when executed remotely on our V.P.S. in Europe works flawlessly ). b.) Are there means to make the `git` client on my machine circumvent this? Y/N answers or brief hints to my questions suffice, I'll work out the rest. Basically I would like to know whether there is a point at all trying to make git work from where I am, given the limitations mentioned.
