Hi,

I am afraid the problem persists.

I performed the following steps on my own fork (git://github.com/PatGuano/LibreCAD.git) with the exception, that the readonly-access to github did not work on the command-line. git gui however did.
> $ cd

-------------
And there it bails out again.
The project structure, cloned from "git gui" still looks alright:

:~/tmp/LibreCAD$ ls
desktop  dxflib  forkit.gif  fparser  gpl-2.0greater.txt  gpl-2.0.txt
index.html  jwwlib  librecad.dox  librecad.pro  LICENSE plugins
README  res  scripts  src  support  ts

:~/tmp/LibreCAD$ git remote add upstream git://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD.git
:~/tmp/LibreCAD$ git fetch --all 
Fetching origin
Fetching upstream
github.com[0: 207.97.227.239]: errno=Connection timed out
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out)
error: Could not fetch upstream
------------------

Tomorrow I will try to replace my github-account by a new one and try
again. The purely technical nature of the problem appears to manifest
and as such it will be solved one way or other.

Thanks for your assistance so far.
