Can you try to manually clone that repo and see if it works?
just open you project folder and:
git clone git://github.com/ajaxorg/ace.git deps\ace
On what OS are you?

From what you are saying you have some issues with git.
you should be able to manual clone the repo without issues.
The dep you are cloning is a gist:
Gist is a simple way to share snippets and pastes with others. All gists
are git repositories, so they are automatically versioned, forkable and
usable as a git repository.
I tried coning the repo with the git:// protocol and it looks fine. But
I'm not able to clone it with https:// and I don't know if that is
possible.
You should try reinstalling github and make sure it is able to get pass
the firewall .
