  Thanks. Yeah, I’m pretty sure that that was what I was hitting. Hmm. Okay, that’s actually good — so it’s not a git bug, then, but something problematic in GitHub’s infrastructure.

    I wonder if there is a retry or something on git. I know there is if you create a basic bash script, but we can assume someone is having the same issue, right?

    I did see some depth=1 or something like that to get only a certain depth of git commits but thats about it.

    I cant find the curl workaround I used a long time ago. It might have been just pulling the code as a zip or something like some GH repos let you do.

      Yeah, that’s a shallow clone. That reduces what it pulls down, and I did try that (you most-likely want a bit more, probably to also ask to only pull down data from a single branch) but back when I was crashing into it, that wasn’t enough for the Cataclysm repo.

      It looks like it’s fixed as of early this year; I updated my comment above.
