I tried to clone git://metaf2xml.git.sourceforge.net/ but this happened: 

> git clone git://metaf2xml.git.sourceforge.net/ 
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/barry/METAF2XML/metaf2xml.git.sourceforge.net/.git/ 
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I thought maybe the git port (9418 according to my /etc/services) was
closed, but no: 

> telnet metaf2xml.git.sourceforge.net git 
Trying 216.34.181.91... 
Connected to metaf2xml.git.sourceforge.net. 
Escape character is '^]'. 

QUIT

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to run other git commands first?

    It fails because you are using the wrong url (do not go by what you see in web access). Try this:

    git clone git://metaf2xml.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/metaf2xml/metaf2xml

    http://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=git&group_id=168043
