Unless you have commit for Emacs you will want to use the anonymous
clone option:

  git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs/nongnu.git

If you do have commit then you are missing providing your username:

This is documented on the Emacs project page on savannah:

  https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=emacs
