[petsc-dev] How to compose a git URL for going through 2 machines

[Nystrom, William David]

Well, I have contacted the consultants at both LANL and LLNL to discuss the problem
and seek a solution.  At the moment, I have not even been able to get the more
traditional solution of port forwarding using the -L option of ssh to work - the most
recent suggestion by Satish.  Very frustrating.

Dave, insistence on restricting the network and refusal to upgrade are
choices made by LANL.  Those choices have a very real cost, but that
cost should be borne by the organization making those decisions, not the
broader PETSc development community.  Use netcat if need be, etc., but
above all, please make the organization feel the cost of those
decisions.  If the cost is not visible, such policies tend to grow
unchecked, ultimately wasting everyone's time.
