I think this problem is not with the remote repository but with your
local directory. The above command works okay for me. This leads me
to believe that there is a problem locally.
What are the permissions for the local directory?
ls -ld
Try a test checkout in /tmp which should be writable by anyone.
cd /tmp
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib
The .git on the end is optional. There shouldn't be any difference
between git.savannah.gnu.org and git.sv.gnu.org. Because of this I
normally use the shorter version.
If the above doesn't work in /tmp then I would test the git
installation further.
