Linus packs his refs, which means that currently you can't clone using
http, with any version of git.

I really don't understand why packed refs or not depend on the protocol.
It doesn't make any sense.

Try http://repo.or.cz/r/linux-2.6.git/ instead?  This appears to be a
straight clone, but without packed refs.

Does git support to update working copy to a different URL? for
example, I clone the repo through GIT, and switch the working copy to
HTTP, is it possible?
Or clone it from http://repo.or.cz/r/linux-2.6.git, and switch it to
www.kernel.org?
