This is somewhat off-topic, but I just ran into an issue with GitHub, and I am 
not sure how to handle it.

I use this command to “git” the sage tree when Volker announces a new one:
git clone git://github.com/sagemath/sage.git

I now get an immediate response:
fatal: remote error: 
  The unauthenticated git protocol on port 9418 is no longer supported.
Please see 
https://github.blog/2021-09-01-improving-git-protocol-security-github/ for more 
information.

I looked at the web page mentioned, and, if I understand what is described (not 
entirely clear), I just need to replace “git:” with “https:”.  But the next 
paragraph mentions that they have removed support for passwords over HTTPS.

So I’m a bit confused.  Was this discussed on Sage lists?  

Thanks for pointers or hints!

Justin

PS: the change happened in the last day or so; I had cloned the tree a day or 
two ago on other systems without problems
