repo init fails

[prabhukal...@gmail.com]

[prabhu@sp3 ~]$ repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
Getting repo ...
from git://android.git.kernel.org/tools/repo.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/prabhu/.repo/repo/.git/
fatal: read error (Connection reset by peer)

Is there any fix for this problem?

Either its a transient network problem (try again), or you have a firewall in the way that won't let you use Git's native protocol on port 9418 (punch a hole in the firewall, or use a non-firewalled network).
