This is really efficient. Cloning gnome-terminal only results in 2 hits:
62.195.108.47 - - [17/Feb/2011:14:24:14 +0000] "GET /browse/gnome-terminal/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1" 200 21538 "-" "git/1.7.4"
62.195.108.47 - - [17/Feb/2011:14:24:15 +0000] "POST /browse/gnome-terminal/git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1" 200 12218190 "-" "git/1.7.4"

And the speed is nice too:

$ git clone http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-terminal
Cloning into gnome-terminal...

I've blocked Git 1.6.5 and earlier (hopefully).
