I'd like to propose to update the git recipe (specifically, the native one) to
something newer than 1.5.3, currently used. The problem with that particular
version is that it does not work reliably through the proxy. Here is the
symptom:

$ GIT_PROXY_COMMAND=~/git-proxy.sh /OE/tmp/staging/i686-linux/usr/bin/git
--version
git version 1.5.3

$ GIT_PROXY_COMMAND=~/git-proxy.sh /OE/tmp/staging/i686-linux/usr/bin/git clone
git://git.infradead.org/mtd-utils.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/mtd-utils/.git/
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack died with error code 128
fetch-pack from 'git://git.infradead.org/mtd-utils.git' failed.

The first version to work reliably with GIT_PROXY_COMMAND is 1.5.4:

$ GIT_PROXY_COMMAND=~/git-proxy.sh /OE/tmp/staging/i686-linux/usr/bin/git
--version
git version 1.5.4

$ GIT_PROXY_COMMAND=~/git-proxy.sh /OE/tmp/staging/i686-linux/usr/bin/git clone
git://git.infradead.org/mtd-utils.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/mtd-utils/.git/

I'm not sure if there is some requirement to stick with 1.5.x version of git,
if not the latest stable version is 1.6.0.4 - I am attaching patches for both
just in case.
