git protocol

[drakeguan]

Hi,

Just a really tiny suggestion: it would be easier to change protocol from git:// to http:// cause some working environment only allows http and https access to the Internet :)

Hi,
please change the protocol to http://.
git:// is not always available

+1. I can't use this behind my firewall - I really wanna get couchDB installed and just cant.

I agree https is the way to go.

As a work-around for those of you having trouble:

git clone https://github.com/iriscouch/build-couchdb
cd build-couchdb
vi .gitmodules
#change all "git:" to "https:", save and quit
git submodule init
git submodule update

This worked for me.
