How to clone a CodePlex project on Linux

There's some GnuTLS bug, that causes this error when cloning using git clone:

error: RPC failed; result=56, HTTP code = 200

Workaround:

mkdir your-project
cd your-project
git init
git remote add https://git01.codeplex.com/your-project
git fetch
git checkout -B master origin/master

Note that git remote add ends with error: Could not fetch origin, however the following git fetch works fine.
