And the response from Github is that it won’t be fixed as this is a
deprecated downloads endpont,
“meaning there wont' be any changes like this made to that.
https://github.com/blog/1302-goodbye-uploads
These endpoints were deprecated on December 12, 2012.”
So, fetching the sources from there won’t work. That’s okay, though, as
we can continue to use the git reference.
