DO NOT use pseudo-releases or tarballs created by third parties.
In particular, automatic tarballs made by GitHub and other mirrors
are lacking the .git directory and will not properly build anymore.
Requiring a Git checkout seems a bit unfortunate. Have you considered
using export-subst [see gitattributes(5)] to record the revision of
git-archive(1) exports? This would coincidentally make the GitHub
tarballs work as well (used by e.g. fetchGitHub in Nixpkgs to avoid
checking out large repos on every build).
I mean something along these lines (I have not attempted making MSVC
work because I haven't used it for years):
