Thanks Ben,

Apparently, it did work at one time, and still does partially.

Existing repos can be updated with git fetch (using http or https), but it
seems git.openafs.org gives up when trying to fetch the entire repo with http
or https.

https://gerrit.openafs.org works well.  Is that a non-canonical repo?

Thank you,
Mike
