Trouble cloning git via http

[Juan Lang]

Anyone else cloning git via http?  I'm behind an annoying proxy
server, and when I try to clone, I get:
error: Unable to find afce86b4bc6198575bbe6046d12fd77efe01cd46 under
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git
Cannot obtain needed object afce86b4bc6198575bbe6046d12fd77efe01cd46

Just curious if anyone else has seen this or knows what I could try.

Thanks,
--Juan

Have you tried cloning from repo.or.cz? The git http protocol is really stupid 
and can't search multiple packs. repo.or.cz seems to do a decent job of 
keeping the repos repacked.

Cheers,
