[lmi] Anonymous git checkout failure

[Greg Chicares]

On a machine in the office, Kim sees this (although the same command
worked a couple of weeks ago and she hasn't updated cygwin or its
git package):

/opt/lmi/src[0]$git clone http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/r/lmi.git
Cloning into 'lmi'...
fatal: http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/r/lmi.git/info/refs not valid: 
is this a git repository?

I cut and pasted that command here, and it works for me in cygwin
as well as in GNU/Linux.

We both see the same thing if we paste these URLs into a browser:
  http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/r/lmi.git
  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/lmi.git/info/refs
In particular, the second URL displays this for us both:
39d4821197e50b043331320b9a147c1e869a6cf8        refs/heads/master

Vadim, do you have any suggestions?

BTW, I can use git's own protocol:
  git clone git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/lmi.git
but that's blocked by the corporation as it always has been.
