Great. Then we know that its possible to clone via that proxy. Now we
just need to figure out how and why Subsurface can't.


As a workaround, you can have subsurface read and write to that local
git-repo, and use SmartGit to push and pull from cloud storage.


You can, in Preferences change to "Local default file" and point it to
/path_to_git_repo_checkout/[branch] , were the path is where you cloned
it with SmartGit, and branch is your email address.


Then you can load that repo in subsurface, change something and save,
and you should see an new commit in SmartGit. Then SmartGit can push
that to "cloud storage" and all your other clients can fetch it from
there.


Yea, its not for the faint hearted, but its a workaround.
