Heh. If you are using http://, you should _not_ ask for "git.kernel.org".
So use
git clone http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git linux-2.6
instead. That should work (modulo mirroring issues - but mirroring has worked pretty well lately)

http:// will suck, but should work. It will be a bit frustrating, because when it downloads the big packs, it will just say something like
Getting pack 4f22c0234340c4f3470c04f912969fc59ae8babc which contains ...
and then it will be quiet for a _loong_ time while it downloads that 164MB pack..
And the real problem with http:// will come later, if you use git to keep up-to-date with the kernel, and I end up repacking the archive (which I usually do around major releases). Then it will end up fetching the newly repacked data - even though most of it you already have.
Anyway, there's a reason why the "native" protocols are much preferred, but the http:// one does work. It just requires www.kernel.org, not git.kernel.org.
