Hm, this worked fine for me:

Perhaps your system is sequestered behind some sort of firewall that will
not allow the git: protocol (port 9418 IIRC) to pass through? Almost all
firewalls allow HTTPS so that could explain it.
Can you try "git ls-remote https://git.sv.gnu.org/git/gnulib"; and see if
that works, so we can know if it's the protocol or the hostname that is the
problem?
Ok, access to git.sv.gnu.org/git/gnulib through https works fine from here.
But not being able to to get access through the git protocol doesn't seem
to be a firewall issue, as a traceroute to that host on port 9418 using TCP
succeeds (Note that git.sv.gnu.org resolves to 209.51.188.201):
$ sudo traceroute -T -p9418 git.sv.gnu.org

Thus, everything looks perfectly fine so far. But the following still fails:
$ git ls-remote git://git.sv.gnu.org/git/gnulib
fatal: remote error: access denied or repository not exported:
/git/gnulib
This rather looks like a permission issue to me. Anyway, I'm going to
try the same
on Tuesday at work, I'm really curious to find out what's wrong here.
