Your inability to produce 404 is a different matter -- often the

needed for such a setup.

This is totally untested, but maybe something like this?

It works for me. Just some trailing white space warning when applying.

I didn't found a way to pass '--unreliable-404' flag from git-clone,
perhaps my bad,
I have tested forcing the flag in sources.
