git:// was taken down recently because of a system upgrade. It's not
clear that we'll put it back in operation ... at least as I understand,
that protocol is pretty much obsolete, as it's unencrypted and
unauthenticated.

As Masahiko-san said, you can simply update the remotes to use https://,
with something like
git remote set-url origin https://...

and everything should work again.

Please don't consider this a formal announcement of removal, though :-)
That may still follow, pending further analysis.
