Re: cloning gnulib from behind a firewall

[Mike Detwiler]

Hi Ben,

I am able to clone Savannah's projects via http. The general format is
http://git.sv.gnu.org/r/<project-name>.git.

So,

git clone http://git.sv.gnu.org/r/gnulib.git

should work for you.

FYI, you can also browse the source via gitweb:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/

Hope this helps,

-Mike
