There is indeed a change to a new scheme.  This occured a few cycles
ago, and we have been keeping mirrors in sync.  The canonical git
repository is listed in the Vcs-Git: header in the source package and is
of the below form:

    git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/<source package>/+git/<series>

or for the latest kernel source:

    git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/cosmic

That said the mirror is meant to work, and I will have a look as to why
it is not.
