As you cannot download from git repos using the git protocol, you will 
be dependent on the tar files that are hosted by the Yocto project.

I think so. As Richard indicated, they sometimes get outdated. As I 
assume most people use git clones instead of the fallback tar files, 
problems will go unnoticed for a long time otherwise.

Note that using the tar files is very bandwidth inefficient, as you need 
to download a complete new tar file for every small change that you need 
to pull in. So maybe that can give you some leverage to your employer to 
open up git access.
