GitHub works fine otherwise...
A little different story here in the States. This download attempt completely failed.

https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt --> https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt.git
You can also use git:// instead of https

sha256sums show the 2 repositories are different. However, diff didn't find a difference.
Interesting
Same/similar to what I was experiencing
Are your downloads of the package sources also slow?
Same issue... This has been going on for some time. I haven't said anything because these things usually clear up over time. However, this issue has been progressively getting worse.
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.
