This issue was handled by the gitorious support email account, which is probably better suited for problems using gitorious.org.
Short version: our git-http service can be a bit flaky at times, we expect to roll out a new version within the next month. If you're having this type of issues, you could try using "jit.gitorious.org" instead of " git.gitorious.org" - this goes through a java based HTTP service. A word of warning: jit.gitorious.org will go away eventually, but for users who cannot use git/ssh because they're behind a firewall could try this until the new service goes live.
