So trying to clone typescript repo from codeplex i am getting:

$ git clone https://git01.codeplex.com/typescript
Cloning into 'typescript'...
remote: Counting objects: 454417, done.

__error: RPC failed; result=56, HTTP code = 200__
Resolving deltas: 100% (410526/410526), done.

From reading http://codeplex.codeplex.com/workitem/26133 it looks like the only way to fix this on my machine - is to recompile GIT, which I definitely do not want to do. Workaround? Import it first to GitHub and clone from there :)

When hovering over "+" sign on github there is option to import repository. Just paste https://git01.codeplex.com/typescript into URL and submit form. It will take a while :)
