source-check doesn't work for Github downloads it seems, see for example the
Linux kernel download for the raspberrypi_defconfig:

$ make raspberrypi_defconfig
$ make source-check

Some source-check fails because the kernel is not available. But in practice,
if you do a build, it can download the kernel perfectly fine:

warning: refname '935c7ce84c982a26f567a03a58a1537424569938' is ambiguous.
Git normally never creates a ref that ends with 40 hex characters
because it will be ignored when you just specify 40-hex. These refs
may be created by mistake. For example,

  git checkout -b $br $(git rev-parse ...)

where "$br" is somehow empty and a 40-hex ref is created. Please
examine these refs and maybe delete them. Turn this message off by
running "git config advice.objectNameWarning false"
