dan@mini9:~$ sudo git clone http://git.agaricdesign.com/git/drupal-6-agaric-core.git leftysbrew
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/dan/leftysbrew/.git/
Cannot get remote repository information.
Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?
dan@mini9:~$ sudo git-update-server-info
fatal: Not a git repository

Just ignore all the stuff about perhaps git-update-server-info stuff, and the first thing to do, check your URL. Odds are it really isn't a git repository...

This has been a public service announcement from one set of brain-dead git newbies to perhaps another set...

Resolution

git update server information or git not there at all
