Re: best practise between git-fetch vs url-fetch?

That's only tautologically true if we limit ourselves to using raw 
commit hashes instead of the more common (because far more 
practical) named tags.  I obviously don't think we should do that.

If we don't, I fail to see how our git-fetches are 
‘content-addressed’ in a way that url-fetches supposedly aren't. 
Git tags are even easier to modify in place than tarballs, not 
harder.

Yes, this is niice.  ♥

For the sake of argument¹, though, so is --with-source=<actually 
released and supported upstream tarball dot tar>.

Somehow erasing that hard distinction is the real winning move.

Kind regards,
