On closer inspection, it seems that there’s nothing “fatal” here: if you
let it run for a while (1 or 2 minutes), it ends up silently cloning the
whole repo and the derivation build eventually succeeds.

Could you check if that’s the case for you?

berlin.guixsd.org has a substitute for this checkout, which suggests it
went fine there.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
