[Xen-devel] RE: Git error when cloning pvops tree

I was able to use the git protocol after all,
I talked to some developers at HP Linux organization and they helped me 
configure my server to access the appropriate HP proxies to use git.
I have started the git clone and it seems to be working fine for me (although 
it has not finished yet ...) 

Thanks

Renato
