Hi Folks, stupid newbie question: I'm trying to clone Linus' kernel tree using git 1.5.1. Since I'm behind a firewall which blocks the git port I use: git clone http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git At first everything is fine and git happily seems to download the tree. After a while however, git exits with the following error message: error: Couldn't get http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/refs/tags/v2.6.11 for tags/v2.6.11 The requested URL returned error: 404 error: Could not interpret tags/v2.6.11 as something to pull rm: cannot remove directory `/cygdrive/c/home/git/linux-2.6/.git/clone-tmp': Directory not empty Any hint what I did wrong?
