rtems git readonly access behind corporate firewall

[Hill, Jeffrey O]

Thanks Joao (and everyone else for their answers),

I just now sent a request for a port 9418 firewall exception to the IT department here.

However, I read that modern git should work fine over http so I suspect that this "warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout" might be a clue concerning what might be wrong (with the http based access).

Note that there can be two different ways to start the git clone.

git clone git://git.rtems.org/rtems.git rtems

git clone http://git.rtems.org/rtems.git rtems

Jeffrey,

I had the same problem in my corporate computer, I was unable to access GIT, and I tried many ways to solve the issue. In fact, it was not a proxy issue, but the corporate firewall used to block the GIT port. After some fights with the IT Team, the problem was solved.

The port is 9418. Check this out...

Regards from Brazil

Joao
