It would be simple if the mirror on Github work, but you could, as an
alternative, get a cheap VPS somewhere, and make that fetch the repo from
repo.or.cz and then you could fetch from your repo. The only thing that
you need to have open is SSH.

Now you have the control and can use it for any repository in the future
that is blocked due to the UK rules.


Yours,
Mats
