I am getting : 
git clone -b v1.2.stable git://git.freeswitch.org/freeswitch.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /usr/local/src/freeswitch/.git/
git.freeswitch.org[0: 209.105.235.6]: errno=Connection timed out
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out)

on 2 separate machines on different networks.

Is it possible the git repo is down?
