@pingou do you know if this is supposed to work? I can clone the docs from the authenticated URL, but I would expect that this should also work with the anonymous clone?

The docs are restricted in access iirc.
Now that I think of it, I'm not entirely sure if that makes sense

Regardless of whether or not restricting access makes sense, I think that pagure should be less misleading. It should either:

  • not show me the documentation URL because I’m not allowed to clone it, or
  • explicitly tell me that I’m not allowed to clone it (maybe with a message in the clone menu, with an HTTP 403 or with a message from the remote).
