Bug For Repo Commits Feed

Body

When I try to subscribe a repo's commits via atom feed, my feed reader got error when fetching the atom file. I checked the link and found that it didn't returned an atom xml file as expected, it returned a json file.

When accessing the url in browser, the result is a xml file. But when using curl or other cli tool, the result is a json file. This seems to be a bug, and only affects repo's commit atom link.

sample URL: https://github.com/textpattern/textpattern/commits.atom

# this returns a xml file
curl https://github.com/textpattern/textpattern/commits.atom -H 'Accept: application/atom+xml'

# but this one, without specify the 'Accept' header, we got a json file
curl https://github.com/textpattern/textpattern/commits.atom  


# for other atom link, it works as expected.
curl https://github.com/textpattern/textpattern/releases.atom # returns xml
curl https://github.com/textpattern/textpattern/tags.atom # returns xml

Now curl https://github.com/textpattern/textpattern/commits.atom seems to return atom xml. In fact, I can see contents of a github commit feed in Miniflux.
