[Alpine-info] Repository mirror and availability in the UK

[Doug Luce via Alpine-info]

I've done a manual update of the Github mirror so it should be at
Eduardo's HEAD now.

Seems the "Public mirror" label is a Github-internal thing and not
accessible to regular customers. I'll look into using a Github action
or something else to keep it up to date automatically.

I generally use SSH's SOCKS tunneling capability to route requests to
a machine in the US and get around country blocks like this.
