Git - Fast Version Control System: did you try ?

[lgs]

Does anybody use "git" on Hostmonster ? If you are a Ruby on Rails guy, secure you've heard about github.com nowday and if know linux kernel as a developer, you probably also know git. Git is an open source version control system, and I just installed the "badguy" on Hostmonster ... but I cannot "clone" a new project cose it seems the firewall catoff the comunication. Look at my session here :

useraxis@useraxis.org [~]# git clone it://github.com/technoweenie/mephisto.git
git clone git://github.com/technoweenie/mephisto.gitInitialized empty Git reposi
github.com[0: 65.74.177.129]: errno=Connection timed out
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out)
fetch-pack from 'git://github.com/technoweenie/mephisto.git' failed.
useraxis@useraxis.org [~]#

Now, does any body already use git over this provider ? If no, does any body has some ideas of how to look for the kind of protocol / port it actually use my "git clone" command ( non priviledge user space process ) ? I do not have tcpdump permission to trouble shuting the network here :

useraxis@useraxis.org [~]# tcpdump
tcpdump: socket: Operation not permitted
useraxis@useraxis.org [~]#

Thanks in advance for any suggestion

I've not used the program, nor have I researched it yet, but if this is a port problem, which is what it looks like based on the output you provided, HM blocks all but the most common ports. In order for you to use a non-standard port, you will have to purchase a dedicated IP address for your account. Once you do that, you can open and close any port you wish for your account, which might allow git to work properly.
