Thanks for the reply.  git configuration might be my problem, but I doubt it.  
I've been using https to fetch and ssh to push to gnu.org repo for months 
(using the pushInsteadOf option).  Now I'm trying to fetch from the new 
lilypond repo with https and it prompts me for credentials.  I wonder if the 
new repo is configured not to allow anonymous fetching.

    $ git remote -v
    . . .
    origin      https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond.git (fetch)
    origin      address@hidden:lilypond/lilypond.git (push)
    $ git fetch origin
    Username for 'https://gitlab.com': ^C
