I think this problem is not with the remote repository but with your local directory. The above command works okay for me. This leads me to believe that there is a problem locally. What are the permissions for the local directory? ls -ld Try a test checkout in /tmp which should be writable by anyone. cd /tmp git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib The .git on the end is optional. There shouldn't be any difference between git.savannah.gnu.org and git.sv.gnu.org. Because of this I normally use the shorter version. If the above doesn't work in /tmp then I would test the git installation further. Bob
