This is extremely new, built yourself? Did you build with curl support?

How about:

  openssl s_client -connect code.google.com:443

A couple more ideas.

1. git needs the https helper:

git help -a | grep https

Do you see remote-https? If not, your git was built without libcurl
and it's not going to work at all. Rebuild or get a git built with
curl.

2. git over https tries to verify remote SSL key, which will fail if
you don't have the key issuer in your distribution's certificate
collection, you can temporarily disable SSL verification:

export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1

Does it work now?

HTH.
