Tim,

Can you run that command outside of the yocto build and it works OK?

Did you set GIT_PROXY_COMMAND in your local.conf? I recall that
git-proxy script on the wiki page not working all that well. (I've
gone through all the same problems with our proxy as well). There is a
connect-proxy utility available on most distros, and then I've been
using this script:

$ cat ../scripts/git-proxy
#!/bin/sh

if [[ "$@" =~ "$GIT_PROXY_IGNORE" ]]
then
	nc $@
else
	/usr/bin/connect-proxy -S wwwgate0.freescale.net:1090 $@
fi

Not 100% sure how it evolved to this point though.
