That should be pointed to the inbox directory, not the git epoch,
(although epoch seems to work, too...):

$ public-inbox-fetch -C projects/mailing-lists/linux-mediatek/

You shouldn't need to go into deeper directory levels in normal day-to-day use.

Everything said, I'm not sure why it's trying 1.git here when
linux-mediatek only has the 0.git epoch...

Viewing the manifest via:
curl https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mediatek/manifest.js.gz | zcat | less
confirms there's only one epoch..

I wonder if something got mangled by lore doing the redirects from http to
https.  Perhaps changing the url in git/0.git/config to use https will help
*shrug*

You can also try my slower lore mirror https://yhbt.net/lore/linux-mediatek/
I use for dogfooding new changes.

Also, are you using public-inbox.git or the v1.9.0 release?
I really need to get the 2.0 features done and released but real life
has been sucking more and more every year :x

No worries, it's good for pointing out flaws in documentation :>

Cool :>
