we get failed CI runs like https://github.com/datalad/git-annex/runs/7382160726?check_suite_focus=true in `test_cached_dataset` on OSX: ``` E datalad.runner.exception.CommandError: CommandError: 'git -c diff.ignoreSubmodules=none fetch --verbose --progress dl-test-remote' failed with exitcode 128 under /private/var/folders/24/8k48jl6d249_n_qfxwsl6xvm0000gn/T/datalad_temp_test_cached_datasetc2m_cpql/https___github.com_datalad_testrepo--minimalds [err: 'fatal:...
