[solved] Clone git source tree of an official Arch Linux package

The question has already been asked a while ago but the proposed solution does not seem to work any longer.

$ LANG=C git clone https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git --single-branch -b packages/bash
Cloning into 'packages'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/': The requested URL returned error: 504

How can I download the entire source tree of the bash *package*?

use the git protocol not the https protocol

git clone git://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git --single-branch --branch "packages/bash"

Works for me, but a 504 is a gateway timeout.

I know. But using the git protocol instead of http works for me, too.
