You're probably behind a firewall that doesn't let the git protocol 
(port 9418) pass through.

If you can't open this port or get your system administrator to open it, 
you can use the http transport. A few tweaks to the script are needed:

- set gitbase=http://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg
- change git-clone ${src} to git-clone ${src}.git

Also note that this is really less efficient than using the git: transport.
