you should be using the api instead of scraping the site, refer:

there is no rsync access to the lookaside, yet; but you should be able
to walk the git path and get what you need, when you need it.

What problem are you trying to solve here, are you looking for a local
cache for network-performance reasons or just looking for a local repo,
just in case git.c.o goes down ?
