Answer 1

I got an error when I used

<git config --global http.proxy http://user:password@proxy_addr:port>

The error is that the config file cannot be identified as there is no such file. I changed the command to

<git config --system http.proxy http://user:password@proxy_addr:port>

I am running git on the Windows 7 command prompt.
The above command references the config file in GIT_HOME/etc/gitconfig.
The --global option does not.

You can also try deleting the remote and adding it again. It worked for me. However you need to setup up tracking information for all branches and other stuff which may not be ideal for large projects.

Basically the steps are :
git remote rm origin git remote add origin
[e-mail]:user/repo.git
git push origin master
