Your Git version is too old.  You need to be using 1.6.6 or later,
which has the smart HTTP client implementation.  You are trying to
use a pre-1.6.6 build that is based on 1.6.5.1, and it lacks the
smart HTTP support.

Currently Gerrit is configured to only support smart HTTP.  It
won't fall back to dumb HTTP if the client is dumb, instead it
kicks back this 403 error.

I actually have to do some code changes to enable dumb HTTP support,
Gerrit Code Review configures JGit to completely disable the dumb
support in all projects.
