bzr-git does not work in https vis-a-vis pycrypto.git

[Eli Zaretskii]

This command:

  bzr branch https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto.git

hangs for a few minutes, and eventually aborts with this error message:

  bzr: ERROR: Invalid http response for https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto.git/info/refs: Bad status line received

The full traceback is below. Trying "git clone" with the same address on the same machine succeeds.

github doesn't support "dumb" access to git repositories, it only
supports the smart server protocol but dulwich/bzr-git doesn't yet.

You can use git:// instead, which they also support.

this is a dupe, but I don't have the right bug # here (offline atm).

Cheers,
