Is git broken?

Is there a problem with the wine git? I use git regularly on the linux kernel git, so
I think I have a working version. As below, it is 1.7.1.

Below is result of git clone:

$ git clone -v git://source.winehq.org/git/wine-git wine-git
Initialized empty Git repository in /weep/wine/wine-git/.git/
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

$ git --version
git version 1.7.1

My motivation is USB access from wine: if there is an easier way than checking out from git
and patching, please let me know.

Works for me; I just pulled the latest updates. Perhaps you had a temporary connection problem with WineHQ?

(Sorry for the double reply...)

Have you tried the command on http://source.winehq.org/git/ exactly as it says there?

Thanks and apologies: above did work. I had to paste and copy to be sure that I could read
it clearly, perhaps because of the local font which was ambiguous.

Okay, cool. It happens... For a moment I thought you typed in an alternative command yourself, and even though something seemed off I just assumed you knew what you were doing (since I'm not exactly a master with all of Git's options).

Good to hear you got it running now.
