$ git clone https://this.host.does.not.exist/foo
Cloning into 'foo'...
error: The requested URL returned error: 500 while accessing
http://this.host.does.not.exist/foo/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
Hmm. Telling me the host doesn't exist is more useful than 500:
$ git clone git://this.host.does.not.exist/foo
Cloning into 'foo'...
fatal: Unable to look up this.host.does.not.exist (port 9418) (Name or
service not known)
Does anyone care about this other than me? :-)

$ git clone https://this.host.does.not.exist/foo
Cloning into 'foo'...
error: Couldn't resolve host 'this.host.does.not.exist' while accessing https://this.host.does.not.exist/foo/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
What are we doing differently? Perhaps you have a custom proxy that
throws 500 back at you or something?

Grrr. Yes. Its the contrib/persistent-https proxy that is causing
this, and a url.insteadof in ~/.gitconfig that always uses it for
https:
[url "persistent-https://"]
insteadof = https://
