I use git from behind a firewall everyday without a problem. If you've seen
such a problem yourself, a bug report would hopefully lead to a solution.
it's not a bug, it's simply the fact that git (properly) uses it's own port for
it's own protocol, and not all firewalls allow access to that port. in some
cases even where a person would have the ability to get the firewall changed
they may not want to for other (political) reasons.
even if git tunneled over HTTP there would be firewalls that would require
authentication that git wouldn't be able to do and would therefor block the
access.
