i can't clone the repos on mark's Aleph Git
i'm assuming this is because i need to identify myself to the node
but git-remote-rns doesn't have that sorta feature
is there something i'm missing or does nobody clone those repos over reticulum anymore?

If you find `rngit` to stall, my advice is to setup rnsd as a daemon on your computer that starts at first boot with systemd/whatever. If it has to spawn an rns instance at boot I notice it can hang or stall sometimes. 

For fetching through rngit on Aleph you don't need to identify
