It is also possible to use 'git config' to set up rewrite rules; if you
can't use git to access a git:// repo, but CAN use it to access an
http[s]:// repo, then setting up:

[url "http://server-of-http-clone/...";]
        insteadof = git://git.qemu-project.org/

I haven't personally tried it for git (it's been a while since I've been
a machine where I had to use rewriting rules to get past inability to
access git://), but have used the trick in other projects in the past.
I'm also fairly certain we have at least a github clone of all qemu
projects involved in qemu submodules, so that you can rewrite all of
your URLs to point to the github http:// service.
