[U-Boot] Git clone using http or rsync broken

Hi,
git clone using http or rsync protocols does not work whereas it is given here: http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootVersions
"git clone http://git.denx.de/u-boot.git" just hangs with: Cloning into 'u-boot'...
And "git clone rsync://git.denx.de/u-boot.git" returns: Cloning into 'u-boot'... @ERROR: Unknown module 'u-boot.git' rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1647) [Receiver=3.1.0] fatal: Could not run rsync to get refs
Any idea what is wrong?
Guillaume

Hi!
Rsync isn't mentioned here: http://git.denx.de/u-boot.git/ , this fact makes me think that rsync support isn't present.
2.
"git clone http://git.denx.de/u-boot.git" just hangs with: Cloning into 'u-boot'...
U-Boot repo is very large, so it takes a lot of time and traffic to clone it. Are you sure that git clone hangs? It you enable enough verbosity, you'll see that git is doing something: $ git clone -vvvvvv http://git.denx.de/u-boot.git Cloning into 'u-boot'... Getting alternates list for http://git.denx.de/u-boot.git Getting pack list for http://git.denx.de/u-boot.git Getting index for pack 09e0accc51ea3a5c8d84fdf7fe7193bf7c7b51ff ... You can also use some network activity monitor to see that git is silently downloading a lot of information.
Btw, git:// protocol works fine, do you have any reasons to avoid using it?

Ok.

Testing again right now and it seems to work fine.

Here, GIT protocol works fine but on some of my client networks, GIT is unreachable (probably due to proxy or firewall) and thus HTTP must be used instead.
