Hi, Andrea,
I'm glad to hear that things are working for you now!

You should end up with the same results using either URL. Using
git:// is preferable to http:// because it is more "git-aware" (not
surprisingly) and therefore can be more efficient over the network.
Using http:// is generally considered a backup in case intervening
firewalls block git:// traffic.
Have you been running "git pull" from time to time? This is
necessary to get updates that have been pushed by others. For
reasons beyond the scope of this list, it is probably preferable to
do...
git pull --ff-only
...if you have not been doing development on the casper libraries
themselves. If that fails because it can't "fast-forward", then
there are likely some inadvertent changes in your local mlib_devel
files.
Hope this helps,
Dave
