I found the problem and (ab)used my kstable group rights to fix it:

objects/info/alternates of linux-2.6.22.y.git contained
  /home/ftp/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects
instead of
  /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects

This seems to exist on git.kernel.org but not on www.kernel.org, 
explaining why the http method didn't work.
