This does talk about ssh. Same can be run through a firewall with an
appropriate tool (e.g. Corkscrew). But only if the server site provides
the appropriate receiver.

I do use this method with another git server via an url =
git+ssh://anonymous@... prefix. Works great, some 10 times faster and
much more reliable than http:

If sourceforge does support this method (as the page suggests) I would
need a read-only username and a password.

The username does not seem to be anonymous:

=======================================================================
 git clone ssh+git://anonymous@fpgui.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/fpgui
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/mschnell/fpc_source/fpgui/.git/
Proxy could not open connnection to fpgui.git.sourceforge.net:  Forbidden
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
=======================================================================

If the username is correct, a question for a password would have been
issued.
