At this question you answer 'no', which means that git will terminate
the connection,
which it does. Here you need to answer 'yes'.

Since you can 'git clone' as it is shown below, it is a bit strange
that you are asked
to verify the host again. I believe it's a simple configuration issue
that you need to
verify both 'git.gnome.org' and 'gnome.org'. You also mention this below.
Once you do this once for each, it should work just fine.

If you already have an anonymous clone, you can convert to a 'eponymous' clone
with http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/GitHowTo#Convert_an_anonymous_clone_into_an_eponymous_one
