This looks weird. Why would downloads from https://<something> end up
in the Git download helper ?

If the URL starts with https://, unless the SITE_METHOD is forced to
Git, then it's the wget download helper that gets used.

Downloads that use the $(call github,...,...) macro today already use
wget, not git.

Best regards,

Thomas
