I've just noticed this page is significantly out-of-date and have updated it.

I suspect the reason this is failing is that SOCKS_SERVER isn't being allowed 
through into the environment where the fetcher is running. However, instead of 
fixing that I would suggest using our git proxy script (scripts/oe-git-proxy) 
and setting ALL_PROXY instead of SOCKS_SERVER (the syntax is slightly different 
though, see the updated wiki page or the script file itself for details).

Cheers,
Paul
