Same result for me. Maybe a drupal.org issue?

I think this problem might be an unwanted side-effect from when it recently changed owner. In my project tab, the link is https://drupal.org/sandbox/DrupalMill/2044339, while on for example the git info it uses tsvenson.

Could you try cloning it using:

"git clone --branch 7.x-1.x http://git.drupal.org/sandbox/DrupalMill/2044339.git sitebase"

and see if that works.

I have a hunch that this might be the first time a sandbox has changed owner, and thus the first time this problem has been triggered.

That is exactly the problem. Using the git clone from #2 solved the problem (at least something downloaded, I haven't looked at the results yet).

Perhaps put a note on the project page?

Thanks for testing and confirming that my hunch about that it was changing project-owner of this sandbox project that seems to cause this problem.

I also tested what happened when changing "DrupalMill" to "tsvenson" in the URL to the project page. It worked, but resolved back to DrupalMill.

I think this is due to that sandbox projects does contain the username of the initiator of the project, while full projects don't. Thus to make this work, there are more steps needed to switch owner of a sandbox compared to doing the same for a full project.

I will make the d.o administrators aware of this so it can be avoided in the future.

I'll also add a note about this on the main project page until it is fixed.

I'll also set this issue to postponed, rather than fixed, due to this. The it won't disappear in the queue...

FYI: Filed #2228067: Changing owner of a sandbox creates git problems to make the d.o webmasters aware of this.

I've now, sorry for the delay, updated the project page with information about this problem too.
