This is meant to address #19, though it may also address some other requests like #20 and #21 (I haven't tested them).
It gives degit another route to achieving its end, by simply cloning the repository and then eliminating all the git data within. It's neither pretty nor efficient, but it does work, even on private repositories. Degit automatically falls back on it if the repository given doesn't match degit's supported handlers (which would previously have been an error).
It might be nice to include further error checking to ensure it's received a valid git SSH or HTTPS endpoint. Without that it will simply fail to clone the repo and return an error at that point. I'm not sure whether it's wise to try to duplicate git's URI validation.
