Thanks, I can see those patches now. Very helpful.

That would be a great, thank you.

A shame they no longer offer this as a first-class feature, but I suspect 
that's their business interests.

Yes, and I won't speak on UK politics here but I suspect as a technical 
problem it's best to look for solution from both sides.

I'll investigate using Git over a SOCKS proxy (any tips appreciated) so I 
always have an option.

But also it's healthy for a project like Alpine to have mirrors. FWIW I'm 
generally supportive of the use of a smaller hosting provider (like 
repo.or.cz); instead of the whole world on GitHub.

Thanks again,
