Yes, for git clones you need to override it.

Yeah. :/  Took us ages to verify this happens but it definitely does.

It *shouldn't* matter here as the /archive/ tarball should have identical
contents to a clone of the same tag, but it's possible that the build
system looks for a .git/ directory and changes how it builds.  That's kind
of stupid but it wouldn't be the first time I've seen it break builds.
