From
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/build-system/install-buildsystem
git clone https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git
Pls, update wiki, if appropriate.
Bump: Is it too much asked for, to update the docs in case of (serious) changes ?
BTW, it has the advantage of less questions here on the forum.
May be, I am a too oldfashioned prgrammer. As almost half a century ago, it was good practice for us, to keep the docs up-to-date.
Yeah, good old days back then 
Today, as a rule of thumb for open source: If you want something done, do it yourself.
Regarding the wiki: It's a wiki (ORLY?
), you can correct mistakes yourself.
Not to start a general, new topic about coding standards, I might first check, whether such open source practice, resulting in non-deterministic software, is already covered in an article in ACMs (Association of Computing Machinery) "Risk to the Public".
As documentation of software functionality by a user, instead from the author, is seriously at risk being wrong or incomplete.
Which is in strong contrast to the "security" fans around.

Which is besides the point of your message claiming that there is undocumented serious changes to the git cloning process.
Then what does this mean ?
Which means, it is a good idea, to update the wiki like
"The official link https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt quite often is very slow, or does not work at all. So you might use the Github source mirror instead, https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt.git" .
No, it menas that GitHub advertises .git as "proper" repo url and that the OpenWrt repo should be used over lede-project.
https://help.github.com/en/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-use
The wiki already advertises the Github mirror.
If appropriate? I'll attempt to change the URL in the quick guide? Thoughts? I've found I have rights to change some pages but not others, so that's the reason why I said "attempt"
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/quickstart-build-images
There are no special restrictions on the quickstart page, i.e. every logged in user can edit it.

Out of curiosity where are you located?
At that time the local traffic egressed into WAN through a node in Central Europe. After noticing the snail pace ran some bandwidth throughput tests and none came up with an indication of an issue.
I'm in the U.S, and the same thing happens to me when I try to use git.openwrt.org which is located in Europe.
So I wonder if we aren't in a bit trading war with Europe? lol
Actually, I just tried, and didn't have any issues. It would be the first time I have tried in probably close to a month.
All public links should point to a source that provides better fault tolerance and load balancing.
Those who really need to access the primary source should be able to do it on their own.
