We could work around that by adding a derivation =E2=80=9Cbuil= t-in builder=E2=80=9D for Git clones, just like we have =E2=80=9Cbuiltin:downloa= d=E2=80=9D. > Another point for url-fetch is that Git's transition from SHA1 to SHA256 > identifiers may be easy for us, or it may not be. We don't know yet. I=E2=80=99m =E2=80=9Ccurious=E2=80=9D about that transition=E2=80=A6 Ludo=E2=80=99.
