I have tried changing the gir URL 'git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib.git' to 'git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git', but even that doesn't work. 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

That way we avoid these problems for new comers or people with nasty firewalls. I think we can do this by applying the change in the .gitmodules file
