Hmmm maybe you're behind a (corporate) firewall/proxy that prevents connections to the default git port?
git clone works fine for me on linux (but that really isn't a great help for your problem -- sorry) I've never tried using git from cygwin. It works for me in msysgit so unless you have a really old version of git it's probably a firewall issue on your network. -Bernt "Tim O'Callaghan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Still broken for me. > > /tmp>git clone git://repo.or.cz/org-mode.git > Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/org-mode/.git/ > repo.or.cz[0: 62.24.64.27]: errno=Connection timed out > fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out) > fetch-pack from 'git://repo.or.cz/org-mode.git' failed. > > Tim. > > On 18/03/2008, Bernt Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Try using this URL instead: >> >> git://repo.or.cz/org-mode.git >> >> as in >> >> $ git clone git://repo.or.cz/org-mode.git >> >> >> -Bernt >> >> >> "Tim O'Callaghan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >> >> > I'm getting the same problem using cygwin git. >> > >> > Tim. >> > >> > On 18/03/2008, Jose Robins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> >> >> I tried to get the git repo by cloning and I got the following error. >> I'm >> >> just getting into git as well...
