Hi,

I'm wondering if there are any problems with the named Git repository? I'm getting FORBIDDEN HTTP errors like these:

torkild@Horus:~/git$ git clone http://git.eclipse.org/c/mylyn/org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.git/
Cloning into org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks...
error: The requested URL returned error: 403 (curl_result = 22, http_code = 403, sha1 = 4b2e39fe7a63a22787ed6deed460df0717e5f817)
error: Unable to get pack index http://git.eclipse.org/c/mylyn/org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.git/objects/pack/pack-0853709d90140d629a6e298e3a4131e5eab3f858.idx

you are trying to clone from the cgit web ui, which is probably forbidden

to prevent that you use git's dumb http protocol which is very inefficient

instead clone from

http://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/mylyn/org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.git

as listed at the bottom of

http://git.eclipse.org/c/mylyn/org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.git/

this way you will use git's smart http protocol
