Is there any reason qmk couldn't be patched to accept a plain directory as an alternative to a git repository? It looks like it's just using it as a way to transport a bunch of files, rather than really needing to provide a locally-editable version-controlled environment. In fact, to me it looks as though the "setup" subcommand is pretty close to this already. is_qmk_firmware will be quite happy with a plain directory as long as it has the right files in it, and it doesn't need a .git subdirectory. It seems as though you'd just need to have QMK_HOME fall back to /usr/share/qmk-firmware (or whatever) if it isn't explicitly set.
