[U-Boot] Git clone using http or rsync broken

[Nable]

Hi!

Rsync isn't mentioned here: http://git.denx.de/u-boot.git/ , this fact
makes me think that rsync support isn't present.

U-Boot repo is very large, so it takes a lot of time and traffic to
clone it. Are you sure that git clone hangs? It you enable enough
verbosity, you'll see that git is doing something:
$ git clone -vvvvvv http://git.denx.de/u-boot.git
Cloning into 'u-boot'...

You can also use some network activity monitor to see that git is
silently downloading a lot of information.

Btw, git:// protocol works fine, do you have any reasons to avoid using it?
