It's connected and waiting for input.  It's not hung.  You need to hit
ctrl-] to get the telnet prompt and then type quit to close the connection.

It worked before?  Maybe there's a network issue or the remote server is
down for maintenance or something.  I would just try it again I think.

On linux using the exact command you specified the clone finishes in 33
seconds for me.

address@hidden:/tmp$ time git clone git://repo.or.cz/org-mode.git

I'm using a hot-off-the-press development version

address@hidden:/tmp$ git --version
git version 1.5.5.rc0.6.gdeda

but any version post 1.5.3 should work fine I think.
