Hi,
  can git-r3 do 'git clone' instead of 'git fetch'? I tried to fiddle with EGIT_CLONE_TYPE="mirror" but that did not help.

See the gatk-9999.ebuild in sci overlay and https://github.com/broadinstitute/gatk/issues/4687#issuecomment-383222982 . Thank you,

mgorny, is the maintainer of eclass/git-r3.eclass
However the bug tracker is not well suited for questions. 
Please ask on our support channels.

https://www.gentoo.org/support/
On IRC #gentoo would be fine for this question.

Please don't change the general behavior of the eclass, in terms of replacing git fetch with git clone, but rather try to fix you problem with introducing some new code to enable git clone if it is not working for you right now. It would be horrible for people to clone again each time they recompile a live ebuild.
