GIT_CURL_VERBOSE is of no effect, and git http proxy settings won't work. Only http_proxy environment variable will work. You can try modifying git-clone and add --proxy-ntlm or --proxy-anyauth to curl calls, and set the http_proxy environment variable. Alternatively, you can try again with (work in progress) builtin-clone.c. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/75070/focus=75126 Mike -- 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
