Not helpful at the moment (sorry), but I’m working on reengineering the way Pkg gets resources (registries, packages, artifacts) and I’m planning on preferentially using a command-line `git` client if there’s one in your `PATH` so that this isn’t an issue. It’s so frustrating when `git` is perfectly able to access something but `Pkg` can’t because it’s using `libgit2` which does things differently.
