Did you wait long enough? http is *very* slow and there is no progress
feedback during the cloning:

,----
| $ time git clone http://orgmode.org/org-mode.git
| Cloning into org-mode...
| 
| real	5m5.885s
| user	0m22.610s
| sys	0m3.660s
`----

Using the system monitor applet in Gnome, I see my (gigabit ethernet)
link getting pretty much saturated and I see regular "ticks" on the
disk, so things get trasmitted and saved, but it took more than five
minutes for the whole thing to clone (vs. 2.5 mins for a clone over git
- which also meters progress so you can that it's doing something).

OTOH, atm I'm not behind a firewall and it's conceivable that your IT
department has shut off access to orgmode somehow. I'd talk to them
about it. Also, if they provide a socks proxy, you might be able to
clone over git using socksify or tsocks and avoid the pain of http.

PS BTW, I know that git gc is recommended on local repos, but is that
   applicable to the repo on orgmode.org? and would that help with the
   cloning time?  2.5 mins seems long to me. If not gc, is there
   something else that would help?
