Trying this new URL gives me here:
$ git clone http://git.denx.de/u-boot-ppc4xx
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/ng/u-boot/u-boot-ppc4xx/.git/
Cannot get remote repository information.
Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?
But ping does work:
$ ping git.denx.de
PING theia.denx.de (85.214.87.163) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from theia.denx.de (85.214.87.163): icmp_seq=1 ttl=53 time=29.4 ms

The old URL still has the same error as mentioned above.

It's no big deal to change the URL. A clear error message would be nice.

Best regards
