can't convert package with RemoteType 'git' to remote

[mduncans]

It seems that this was fixed in #830, but this has not made it to CRAN?

Attempting to run devtools::build_vignettes() in https://github.com/a2-ai/hyperion.tables gives the error:

> devtools::build_vignettes()
ℹ Installing hyperion.tables in temporary library
Error in FUN(X[[i]], ...) :
