# Useful if you are trying to clone git:// from inside a company.
# Requires that the proxy allows CONNECT to port 9418.
#
# Save this file as gitproxy somewhere in your path (e.g., ~/bin) and then run
#   ssh -D 9052  user@external_server
# In a separate terminal run
#   chmod +x gitproxy
#   git config --global core.gitproxy gitproxy
