Does 'git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/linux-yocto-3.10.git' work
in terminal?

It looks like you have an interesting combination of socat and nc in the
same proxy script, plus the GIT_PROXY_COMMAND in your environment and
proxy setting in ~/.gitconfig. :) GIT_PROXY_COMMAND normally overrides
these settings.

Also, it looks like the socat solution has a small bug: s/proxy/PROXY

I suggest you try the following:
 * remove the proxy settings in ~/.gitconfig;
 * set the proxy script to the example below (I'm using this one);
 * put GIT_PROXY_COMMAND in your ~/.bashrc

Here is how my proxy script looks, maybe it helps:

******************
#!/bin/sh

case $1 in
        *.company.com|192.168.*|127.0.*|localhost)
                METHOD="-X connect"
                ;;
        *)
                METHOD="-X 5 -x proxy.company.com:8080"
        ;;
esac
/bin/nc $METHOD $*
