Hey,

I'm one of the engineers on the Git Protocols team, which is responsible for the service, codeload, that serves archives. We blocked a scraper which was causing some performance impact earlier and it appears our pattern wasn't specific enough, so it accidentally flagged more clients than we wanted.

We've restricted the pattern to be more specific so it shouldn't impact other parties, and things should be back to normal. My apologies for the problems; we'll try to avoid this kind of problem again in the future.
