When I try to add the science overlay through layman it fails to add every time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.layman -a science
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
 * Adding overlay,...
 * Running Git... # /usr/bin/git clone git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sci.git /var/lib/layman/science
 * Failure result returned from Git
 * 
 * Trying next source of listed sources...
 * Running Git... # /usr/bin/git clone http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitroot/proj/sci.git/ /var/lib/layman/science
 * Failure result returned from Git
 * 
 * Trying next source of listed sources...
 * Running Git... # /usr/bin/git clone git+ssh://git@git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sci.git /var/lib/layman/science
 * Failure result returned from Git
 * Deleting _empty_ directory "/var/lib/layman/science"
 * Adding repository "science" failed!

 * CLI: Errors occured processing action add
 * Adding repository "science" failed!


Expected Results:  
I expect the overlay to be added

Please report what layman version.  I can tell it is 2.0.0, but is it _rc3?
Also what git version is installed.

Do you have any other overlays installed? Are you able to sync them?
Comment 2 schwaahed 2012-10-03 16:51:57 UTC
Yes I have 3 other overlays that sync fine

I just realized that they are all subversion overlays though. This appears to be a git problem that is not specific to the science overlay. I can not add any git overlays.

I'm investigating further, any help will be greatly appreciated!

I had been having trouble getting gettext-0.18.1.1-r3 to emerge with the git flag enabled so disabled this flag.

I got it to emerge and was able to add the science overlay back.
