Why is that a problem for you? M-. takes you to the code you are
actually running, whereas the files in Git could have been modified
meanwhile, and are no longer the code your installed Emacs runs.
But if it _is_ a problem, for some reason, the solution is a two-step
dance:
. run 'etags' to produce TAGS that names the *.el files in the Git
checkout where you want to go
. configure Xref to use etags for ELisp files (instead of the
built-in ELisp backend)
