Initially wasn't; don't know why took three replies to clear up
(initially clearly specified non-root usage which others ignored and
mentioned/focused unrelated root topic).

Still fewer confirmations with sudo (one rather than every single
user-non-writable file).

Seems much more complicated (and less-documented) and most popular git
sites (though the #1 isn't Free/Libre/Opensource Software (FLS, OSS,
FOSS, FLOSS) so is condemned) allow clone but not archive. I know you
can't control their mistakes and they should be irrelevant
(unfortunately most projects use most popular/broken sites) but couldn't
there be more (detailed and/or easier) syntax?
