If so, try to disable it. No, no proxy. But I believe this is a bug in the git-core package in debian etch (aka stable). I have run the git-core command on several machines at work and it had that same problem. I ran it on my machine at home and it worked. I started investigating network issues but then it occured to me that I'm running debian sid at home and etch at work. I upgraded a machine to sid, tried the git-clone, and it worked. So it's debian etch, not my network.
