as fedpkg is primarily a tool intended for and used by Fedora packagers,
it defaults to trying to do an authenticated check out, so you can also
commit changes to the package. People sometimes suggest making the
--anonymous option the default so it doesn't fail if you're not actually
a packager, but that would be optimising for the corner case, in this
particular situation.
fedpkg could clone anonymously and add a remote.origin.pushurl config to
the authenticated version. This is usually a plus all around since
git:// is faster than ssh:// when fetching.
See this RFE[1].
