This might just have been a temporary artifact of the link being 
posted on this list and causing a sudden and significant surge of 
people trying to access the repo at the same time; this can look 
like the start of a DDoS[a]. i just accessed that repo now without 
issues, and without being signed in to GitHub. i'd be interested 
to know if it's still inaccessible to you.

[a] Cf. the "Slashdot effect", which i've seen used to describe 
both sudden significant surges of traffic to small Web sites and 
to Web sites more generally.
