Git through a Proxy. What is causing the 407 error when cloning?

Question

I\'m trying to use Git through a proxy. I\'ve tried setting parameters \'git config --global\' in a lot of ways but always without success when cloning repositories.

You can enable trace logging to get more information about what Git is doing. Following is an example:

GIT_TRACE=$HOME/trace.log git co master

You must use absolute paths if you want to send output to a file. Otherwise, use true or 1 to send output to standard error; e.g. GIT_TRACE=1.
