The "developer" page on the freetype website says this:
"If you are behind a Firewall which disables port 9418, you might try the
slower HTTP protocol:
git clone http://git.sv.nongnu.org/r/freetype/freetype2.git
git clone http://git.sv.nongnu.org/r/freetype/freetype2-demos.git";
[ http://www.freetype.org/developer.html#anongit ]
... however, I don't think it's true anymore that using http: is
"slower" -- savannah now supports the git "smart http" protocol (which I
guess just channels the ordinary git-protocol over an http channel),
which is basically the same speed as "git:".
So I'd recommend removing the word "slower" from that description.
Thanks,
