Yes, for me too it hangs. (git version 1.6.3.2)

The documentation on savannah.gnu.org
<https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=gnulib>
recommends to do

  git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git

that is,
  - no --depth option,
  - use a .git suffix at the end.

Apparently the --depth option is the cause. --depth=1000 also hangs.
