fedpkg --user poma -v clone firefox
Cloning ssh://poma@pkgs.fedoraproject.org/firefox
Running git clone ssh://poma@pkgs.fedoraproject.org/firefox directly on
the tty
Cloning into 'firefox'...
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Could not execute clone: Command '['git', 'clone',

In contrast:
fedpkg -v clone -a firefox
Cloning git://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/firefox
Running git clone git://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/firefox directly on the tty
Cloning into 'firefox'...

Shouldn't the default be an '-a'(anonymous) check out via git?
