Description

Following https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/#installing-development-version , I was unable to download latests version of github repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/django/django.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/admin/django/django/.git/
Cannot get remote repository information.
Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?

This is a known error from github for old git versions (see https://github.com/blog/809-git-dumb-http-transport-to-be-turned-off-in-90-days).

Despite updating git was not an option on my server, I was able to download django code using git:// instead of https:// :

$ git --version 
git version 1.5.2.5
$ git clone git://github.com/django/django.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/admin/django/django/.git/

For next developers, can you please change documentation accordingly ?
