title: Unable to start ember-cli project because of git error
body: <p>When I try to execute <code>ember new myproject</code> I get the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[ ... snip ...]
    create vendor/.gitkeep
  Installed packages for tooling via npm.
  Failed to execute "git ls-remote --tags --heads git://github.com/stefanpenner/ember-load-initializers.git", exit code of #128
  Error: Failed to execute "git ls-remote --tags --heads git://github.com/stefanpenner/ember-load-initializers.git"
   exit code of #128
      at createError (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ember-cli/node_modules/bower/lib/util/createError.js:4:15)
      [ ... snip ...]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I tried to execute the failing command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git ls-remote --tags --heads git://github.com/stefanpenner/ember-load-initializers.git
  fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
  github.com[0: 192.30.252.131]: errno=Operation timed out
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The <code>git://github.com</code> syntax was new to me, so I tried a version with the more familiar <code>git@github.com:</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git ls-remote --tags --heads git@github.com:stefanpenner/ember-load-initializers.git

  3a6dc87e29efc9de4bc42b6f9afedabb000bcc89        refs/tags/v0.0.2
  $
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone help me diagnose this issue? I'd be happy with a <code>git</code> solution<code>or an</code>ember` workaround.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ ember new myproject --skip-git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>with the same result. I've also tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ ember new myproject --skip-bower
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which seems to compete successfully, but then give an error on <code>$ ember serve</code>, complaining about the lack of bower components.</p>
  
  <p>If I then try:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ bower install
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I get the same <code>git://</code> problem. So I guess this is really a bower/git problem. Still appreciate suggestions.</p>
