Greg,
I'm having problems cloning the stable git tree for 2.6.21.
Here's what I get:
$ git clone http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.21.y.git stable-2.6.21.y
Cannot get remote repository information.
Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?
------
I believe I cloned this tree a few weeks ago successfully.
Did something break?
Thanks,
-- Tim

Ick, don't clone by "http://", please use the git protocol instead:
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.21.y.git
that should work better.
thanks,

I'm behind a firewall that doesn't allow it. Luckily, the
firewall has some holes to allow me ssh access to a few
external machines. It looks like I can use a "git:" url on a
box outside the firewall, then clone that to inside Sony
with a "git+ssh:" url.
I'll do that, unless someone else has a better suggestion.
Pushes and pulls will be two steps each, but at least it works.

if you have :22 outbound access you could try git+ssh on git.kernel.org.
I guess you don't have :22 outbound open, do you?

I thought there was a switch somewhere to override the command executed
on the other machine? You could try pulling from the machine outside
the firewall via ssh, and changing the command from git-upload-pack to
another ssh command to connect to kernel.org and invoke git-upload-pack
there. That should bounce the connection off the one machine you can
ssh to outside the firewall.
