degit throws could not download file error on every try.

Hi!

I have tried using degit, but no matter what repo I try to clone it throws a ! could not download ... error. I forked and cloned the repo was able to pinpoint the error to this line https://github.com/Rich-Harris/degit/blob/7531fbe9b752ad4e02ead547150d2e4ed1ec933a/src/index.js#L129

I've added a console.log right above the line and logged the caught error which gave me this output:

I've went further and located that it actually errors here on line 69: https://github.com/Rich-Harris/degit/blob/7531fbe9b752ad4e02ead547150d2e4ed1ec933a/src/utils.js#L66-L69

I think it is worth mentioning that I use volta for managing node versions, that may have an effect on permissions.

I'd be happy to help solve this, submit a PR or something, but at this point I don't know which direction I should go.

Same problem here. It started with a certificate problem with git that I fixed by temporarily disabling ssl checking for git. Could be ssl verification here too? (SSL decryption at firewall using cert). I'm getting the same error now on the same file: ! could not download https://github.com/sveltejs/template/archive/4b6ab60fe58c8404d674b58faa08659d832605cc.tar.gz

I don't see any SSL verification in the code though.

I got this error when trying to degit a private repository. README stated that it doesn't support private repository yet.

But I tried with -m=git option, it works.

My home dir is not writable (because a bunch of tools like degit use it as a dumping ground) so I solved it by creating a writable ~/.degit directory
