 Comparing them with my own results, I see a crucial difference:

 Instead of getting the 200 reply here, I get the following:

< HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
< Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2016 13:00:58 GMT
* Server Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) is not blacklisted
< Server: Apache/2.2.16 (Debian)
< Location: 
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/lmi.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack
< Content-Length: 368
< Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

 i.e. the server redirects me to the correct page and then everything
proceeds correctly instead of exiting with an error as it does in your
case.

 I strongly suspect that in your case a proxy sitting between you and the
external network mangles this redirect somehow. Unfortunately it's not
really clear what to do about it, all I can suggest is trying to access
http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/r/lmi.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack
from your browser (or, if you prefer, using curl from command line) as it
should show you the body of the returned document which might contain some
clues about what is going on. But most likely the only way to make this
work would be to ask your IT/network administrator to stop doing whatever
they do that breaks connectivity.

 BTW, just to check if this problem also appears with the other sites,
could you please try cloning https://github.com/vadz/lmi.git? If this
works, perhaps it could be a (temporary?) workaround...

 Good luck,
