Hi Luca,

Thanks for your efforts!

Yes, it's definitely better. Even from my own machine (not even gitlab):

$ time git clone https://git.ageinghacker.net/jitter

I am therefore changing it in poke/.gitmodules (master branch).

The CI now fails with a different error (which I can reproduce locally as well):

$ (cd poke && ./bootstrap --skip-po)
