they mentioned an HTTP url
http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
but when I accessed it then got a 404 page not found error.
The http address of a git repo is for accessing it via the http protocal
instead of the git protocol. So to use that http address to clone the
repo you'd issue the command:
git clone
http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
http git addresses are useful for accessing repos from behind firewalls
that block the standard git port of 9418, but http access can be
considerably slower than git access.
This is all explained in the following: http://progit.org/book/ch4-1.html
I highly recommend that book, which is freely available online.
