      I am building a custom pfsense image.
      I want to clone the pfsense git repository using the following command,
      #git clone http://gitweb.pfsense.org/pfsense/mainline.git pfSenseGITREPO/pfSenseGITREPO

      but there is an error: unable to get pack file
                                  cannot obtain the needed object
      Someone told me to change the http protocol to git since http has got some issues for larger files.
      And i chaged the command to the following:
      #git clone git://gitweb.pfsense.org/pfsense/mainline.git pfSenseGITREPO/pfSenseGITREPO

      but still there is error:
            fatal:unable to connect a socket (Operation timed out)

      please help me fix this.
