If like me you use git for storing code and configuration files, then it can become a problem when using it through a corporate proxy if you have the wrong versions.
I found today while trying to do a git clone the following error:
emote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout
After searching around the web I came across this post.

This does indeed work.
Basically the problem is that the version of libcurl3 included with Ubuntu 11.10 has problem authenticating through a proxy. You either have to use 11.04 or upgrade your libcurl3 to the version in the next release of Ubuntu(precise), which fixes the issue.
I hope this saves you some effort.
This link also offers URL's to grab the latest deb packages to install, and more back ground on the issue.
