tails.boum.org and boum.org are both hosted by the boum collective, with
their wildcard certificate for boum.org and *.boum.org but not for
*.tails.boum.org.

git.tails.boum.org, or better git-tails.immerda.ch, is hosted by the
immerda collective with their wildcard certificate for immerda.ch and
*.immerda.ch.

If you go on git.tails.boum.org you end up on a machine run by immerda
which displays the immerda certificate.

That's why you should always and only use git-tails.immerda.ch.

Exactly! So my question now is:

Where did you get the git.tails.boum.org URL?

Because that's the problem that needs to be solved and we should replace
it with git-tails.immerda.ch.
