am I doing it wrong? I have the git repo being served locally via git-daemon with receive-pack

hmm, the unikernel uses its own dns resolver (runnin as a vm, there isn't such a thing as a host resolver), and this resolver asks the public DNS for the IP address of vega -- which is not registered in DNS. certainly deep inside the conduit library there is some resolver and overwriting stuff happening which could be used to accomodate this use case on a unix host (i.e. use gethostbyname/respect /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf).

as a workaround, you can use the IP address of vega in the --remote=git://.../data.git :)
