What is the rationale for packaging the git version in anticipation of
needing it later? In this case the latest release is also the latest
commit, so I don't see any compelling reason for switching to git-fetch
at this moment.
Git snapshots use more bandwidth than regular downloads (mostly due to
Guix' lack of shallow clones), and also more disk space since they
create a source derivation. They also introduce a dependency on git
which ticks in at 344.5MiB.
Note that you can also build a package from a local source code copy
with `guix build --with-source=/path/to/git/checkout you-get` in case of
emergency :)
