can't clone gists

See original GitHub issue

I followed the API and apparently I can’t clone gists.

This is my code:

await git.clone({
  fs,
  dir: '/tmp/test',
  ref: 'master',
  url: 'https://gist.github.com/f55e5fc30238c672621f56aba653904c.git'
})

It does clone the gist repo but only populates it with the .git directory. I could then git.pull to get the file too but that’s not how cloning works.

If I use the isomorphic-git repo address as url it works as expected.

In chrome you can’t even use XHR to set user-agent. I’ve delete fetch before including isomorphic-git so it get xhr instead of fetch and I’ve got error request.js:194 Refused to set unsafe header "user-agent".

Will set up my proxy to include that user-agent. thanks for the tip.
