fatal: transport 'file' not allowed when installing blesh-git

When I install https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/blesh-git via yay

I encounter:

==> Starting prepare()...
Submodule 'contrib' (/home/firestar/.cache/yay/blesh-git/blesh-contrib) registered for path 'contrib'
Cloning into '/home/firestar/.cache/yay/blesh-git/src/ble.sh/contrib'...

Failed to clone 'contrib' a second time, aborting
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: blesh-git

but blesh 0.3.3 (AUR `blesh` package) and other AUR packages are fine

Why is this error?

The developer updated the AUR and I can download it now.
