You can use those URLs with wget, but you need to quote them as they
contain semicolons.  If you don't quote the URL, the shell will break
the URL at the semicolons, eg:

$ wget -q -O /dev/null http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
$ echo $a $f $hb
blob_plain config.guess HEAD

Cheers,
Ben
