Infra have disabled the function that this depends on due to high levels of abuse (unrelated to our use) that caused availability issues for all users. The intention is to re-enable function at some point but ther is no firm timescale. It is fairly easy to do the same thing with git on the command line. Suggestions for an alternative solution welcome.
