Re: [gnome-love] jhbuild, behind proxy compiling gnome-todo

Thank you Tobias. This looks like a complex hack.

I would like to put the line 'exec socat..' inside an 'if' so that it
is executed only if I have http_proxy or allies exported already.
Could also please tell me what needs to the corresponding line in the
else part?

I mean, will git work like normall if ~/.local/bin/gitproxy does not
do anything even with core.gitproxy is set to ~/local/bin/gitproxy ?
