Following https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install
/#installing-development-version , I was unable to download latests
version of github repo:
{{{
$ git clone https://github.com/django/django.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/admin/django/django/.git/
Cannot get remote repository information.
Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?
}}}
This is a known error from github for old git versions (see
https://github.com/blog/809-git-dumb-http-transport-to-be-turned-off-
in-90-days).
Despite updating git was not an option on my server, I was able to
download django code using git:// instead of https:// :
{{{
$ git --version
git version 1.5.2.5
$ git clone git://github.com/django/django.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/admin/django/django/.git/

For next developers, can you please change documentation accordingly ?
