Could you try
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git/ ? I have already seen students
hit by
some firewall restrictions like that on their campus.
Does anyone know how to tell if a given https:// hosted GIT repo is using
the old dumb style or new smart style HTTP GIT transfer protocol. If we
can see savannah is using the smart style, it probably makes sense for us
to just switch libvirt to refer to gnulib via an https:// URI by default.
That way we avoid these problems for new comers or people with nasty
firewalls.

Daniel
