[Bug 2144526] Re: Git clone/fetch latest tag code not working

The git servers are under extreme load lately due to AI scrapers, and
the IS Team are struggling to keep them online. You might have noticed
that all web requests to git.launchpad.net return 503 these days.

My suggestion is to try again at a different time.

If possible, use a reference to upstream linux to reduce load on
launchpad servers.

$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
$ git clone --reference ./linux git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/noble ubuntu-noble
$ cd ubuntu-noble
$ git remote add linus ../linux
$ git fetch linus

Thanks,
Matthew
