Re: [Libreoffice] LO Custom properties

Also when i hit git using http,

git clone http://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/bootstrap libo

I get the following error:

fatal: http://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/bootstrap/info/refs not
found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

Has it to do something with the server or problem is from my end?
