No. This is a user uploaded release tarball. You can notice their
difference. User uploaded tarball has "/releases/download/" in its URL.

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  User uploaded:  
https://github.com/jaagr/polybar/releases/download/3.3.0/polybar.tar
  Auto generated: https://github.com/jaagr/polybar/archive/3.3.0.tar.gz
#+END_EXAMPLE

I tried to use the git-fetch method first, but it failed to build
because git-fetch doesn't fetch git submodules. Do we support
recursively fetching git submodules?

I checked the CMakeLists.txt, but it's too complex for me.  I am not
familiar with cmake, so I prefer not to patch it.

The author released a new version after I sent the last patch. So here
is a new patch with version 3.3.0.
