[Orgmode] problems cloning using the http protocol

[Dias Badekas]

At work being behind a corporate firewall I have no choice but to use
the http protocol inorder to get the latest development of orgmode.

unfortunately it doesn't seem to work.
Here's what I get:

bash> export http_proxy=http://user:address@hidden:80/
bash> git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/org-mode.git
      Initialized empty Git repository in 
/home/dias/Mystuff/Emacs/downloads/org-mode/.git/
      Cannot get remote repository information.
      Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?

Can this be fixed ?
