Hmm, did something change afterwards? I just got a report about issues
accessing the Buildroot repo over https, and it indeed doesn't seem to
work:

git clone https://git.busybox.net/busybox/
Cloning into 'busybox'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://git.busybox.net/busybox/': The requested URL returned error: 403

Running that with GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 I see the 403 comes from here:

GET /busybox/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
Host: git.busybox.net
User-Agent: git/2.20.1
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip
Accept-Language: en-US, en;q=0.9, *;q=0.8
Pragma: no-cache

< HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

Any ideas?
