Looks like you have a slight issue with your git installation...

And you are not able to connect to the git server.

In your command you are using a URL like git://www.kernel.org/...,
which I'm not sure will work -- www.kernel.org will likely point to a
local mirror, which is likely not running a native git server.

So you can try two things:
 1) replace www.kernel.org with git.kernel.org -- this is the best
    thing to do, as git native protocol will work better than http.
 2) If your firewall is blocking git:// URLs, then try replacing the
    git:// with http:// (but leave the server as www.kernel.org).
