Hello, I don't know if this is right spot repo for this error but here it goes. I am trying to run composer install. All dependencies are loaded except drupal/core. I get the following error:

• Installing drupal/core (8.2.8) Downloading: Failed Failed to download drupal/core from dist: The "https://api.github.com/repos/drupal/core/zipball/c63ef7a000bdfe2286cf2eeec6efdf4298dfc6a8" file could not be downloaded (HTTP/1.1 302 Found)
  Now trying to download from source
• Installing drupal/core (8.2.8) Cloning c63ef7a from cache
  c63ef7a is gone (history was rewritten?)

Here is my composer.lock:

"name": "drupal/core", "version": "8.2.8", "source": { "type": "git", "url": "https://github.com/drupal/core.git", "reference": "7ccc248f4058dd5985ad0c61c129243d0d2b58b8" }, 

Another developer suggested changing the url line to the following:

"url": "https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-core.git",

I'll report back.
