[libvirt-users] git repository access via HTTPS

[Fyodor Kupchik]

still no luck with it :(
I precede git command by proxychains one since git does not respect any kind
of proxy settings (nor system wide or those I set via git config http.proxy)
and it only works  in such way.
==============================================================================
ProxyChains-3.1 (http://proxychains.sf.net)
Initialized empty Git repository in
/home/teo/prj/archipel/Archipel/Libvirt/.gnulib/.git/
git.sv.gnu.org[0: 140.186.70.72]: errno=Connection refused
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection refused)
Clone of 'git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib.git' into submodule path '.gnulib'
failed
Failed to recurse into submodule path 'Libvirt'
Unable to initialize submodules
==============================================================================

I suspect it still tries to use git proto somehow...

here's the output from another libvirt repo
==============================================================================
