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. -- Tim ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Linux Forum Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Corporation of America ============================= - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
