Ok, I'm running into the same issue on an Ubuntu 16.04 system.

$ git clone https://review.coreboot.org/coreboot.git
Cloning into 'coreboot'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://review.coreboot.org/coreboot.git/': server 
certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt 
CRLfile: none

In the past I've had no problems with cloning coreboot on this system, but now 
it's broken with the same error message as Gregg encountered.

I've updated the ca-certificates, but it said I already had the latest certs 
and that didn't fix it.

I found an article online about pulling the cert from coreboot into a .pem 
file, and then appending that into the ca-certificdates.crt file, but that 
didn’t work either.

I imagine there are others that have run into this... what's the solution?

Thanks,

- Jay
