+Instructions for checking Gnus out:<p>
+ The server uses packed refs. Make sure your version of Git
+ can handle them (1.7.0.4 and later definitely do).
+<p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Public access:<pre>git clone http://git.gnus.org/gnus.git</pre></li>
+ <li>Comitter access (note the SSL certificate is self-signed):<pre>
+# this will print lots of debugging info
+GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1 GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git clone https://git.gnus.org/gnus.git
+
+# this will be less verbose and probably OK
+GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1 git clone https://git.gnus.org/gnus.git
+
+# this will be necessary if you have to use a proxy
+GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1 HTTPS_PROXY=proxy.example.com:8080 git clone https://git.gnus.org/gnus.git
+
+cd gnus
+
+# you should do this to tell git not to check the certificate (so GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY is not needed anymore)
+git config http.sslVerify false
+ </pre>
+
+ The comitter should also have a <b>~/.netrc</b> file that says
+ <pre>machine git.gnus.org login yourlogin password yourpassword</pre>
+ <p>
+ If your password has a space in it or if you are a rebel,
+ use <pre>https://yourlogin:yourpassword@git.gnus.org/gnus.git</pre>
+ as the address and you won't need a <b>~/.netrc</b> file.
+ It's not recommended.
+ <p>
+ Also the server config says
+<pre>
+[receive]
+ denyDeletes = true
+ denyNonFastForwards = true
+</pre>
+so that will, we hope, prevent unfortunate accidents.
+ <p>
+ Send e-mail
+ to <a href="mailto:tzz@lifelogs.com">tzz@lifelogs.com</a> to
+ get access, especially if you had CVS comitter access
+ already.
+
+ </li>
+ </ul>
