This was the result of a blunder in my Web server configuration.  In an
attempt to overlay gitweb and cloning at the same URL, I sent requests
for nonexistent files to gitweb.  But evidently, cloning relies on the
404 error for proper operation:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=blob;f=http-walker.c;h=700bc13112d65dfe8cf89af17522e28cf0d76e26;hb=HEAD#l501

For the moment, I've mostly disabled gitweb so that you can clone.  I
will be redesigning this very soon so that both gitweb and cloning work.
Thanks for the report!
