Cloning with the http protocol worked for me just now:

dbruce@emperor:~$ mkdir gittest
dbruce@emperor:~$ cd gittest
dbruce@emperor:~/gittest$ git clone
http://git.debian.org/git/tux4kids/tuxmath.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/dbruce/gittest/tuxmath/.git/
dbruce@emperor:~/gittest$ ls
tuxmath
dbruce@emperor:~/gittest$ cd tuxmath
dbruce@emperor:~/gittest/tuxmath$ ls

Either git:// or http:// should work, but the git:// protocol is a lot
faster.  Just now, it took about 1-2 minutes for the above operation,
during which there is no additional output after "Initialized empty
Git repository in /home/dbruce/gittest/tuxmath/.git/".

Also, if you want to contribute to the project, you should create an
Alioth account and request to join Tux4Kids at
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/tux4kids/.  It will be easier to
contribute if you have a full "pull/push" repository, although git
supports other modes like emailing patches quite well.

Cheers,

David
