Hm.  I can't reproduce the problem here, and git:// is anonymous, so I
don't think it's explainable by a difference in our permissions.  It
can't be a firewall outright blocking git:// because it clearly is able
to make some sort of connection--it even gets the same number of objects
I do when I clone.

I wonder if it's just a git bug.  What does "git --version" say?

Does it just hang at the end of that clone, or does it return?  If it
returns, what's left in the .git directory?
