How can I get wine from git through a proxy server? I tried the usual clone command but substituting http:// for git://, set $http_proxy (per git man page) to the name of my proxy server and got: $ git clone http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git wine Initialized empty Git repository in /cygdrive/d/wine/.git/ Cannot get remote repository information. Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there? Then I tried again with git-config --global http.proxy [name of proxy], still didn't work. Is the above command correct? Does git use some other way to set the http proxy server? Is the wine git server not set up for http updates? - d.

Set environment variable for proxy server: # export http_proxy <proxyserver>:<port number> Eg. # export http_proxy myproxy.com:80
