git command within an ebuild fails - why?

Hi,
I'd like to write an ebuild for installing nim-9999.
Within "src_compile"
a shell script is executed which tries to invoke

git clone -q --depth 1 -b master
https://github.com/nim-lang/csources_v1.git csources_v1

This fails with "Could not resolve host: github.com"

When I excute the git command above within the source directory it just
works.
So, what's different when executing it within the ebuild.
Does "inherit git-r3" redefine something.

Many thanks for hint,
Helmut

Network access is disabled in ebuild phase functions by
FEATURES="network-sandbox". You can disable that by adding
RESTRICT="network-sandbox"
to your ebuild, but it's better to fix the build script instead.

I see stefantalpalaru has a solution for this:

Kind regards, tastytea
