I am getting that error when I try to git pull from

gjl@cfarm121:~/gnu/source/binutils-master$ cat .git/config
[core]
	repositoryformatversion = 0
	filemode = true
	bare = false
	logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
	url = https://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/master
gjl@cfarm121:~/gnu/source/binutils-master$ git fetch
fatal: unable to access 'https://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git/': 
The requested URL returned error: 429

This is from cfarm121, and I did not invoke "many" requests.

Maybe related to the recent Anubis update or scraper bots?

Though IMO it would make sense to add extra allowance for cfarm?
