Sounds like you need to upgrade git.

Signs of a too-old Git version
When running git clone, if you get an error like this:
Couldn't get http://some.domain/somerepo.git/refs/remotes/git-svn for
remotes/git-svn
The requested URL returned error: 404 error: Could not interpret
remotes/git-svn as something to pull
You're probably using a really old version of Git that can't handle some
things in the newer repository. The above example was from Git 1.4.4.4,
the very old version included with Debian Etch. The best way to handle
that is to use Debian Backports to upgrade to Git 1.5.5.

However, git clone git://github.com/mysociety/mapit.git is
order-of-magnitude substantially faster, so I'd use that in preference.
OK, that works, so problem solved (or, at least, avoided).
