Do we need a consensus? Sometimes it's enough for the reviewer to 1) bite their tongue or 2) fix before pushing. Often it's a matter of taste and it is beneficial to not second-guess the patch author too much, to not hurt their confidence. I think we should try to avoid a situation where we have to bootstrap Git. We do have git-minimal, which works for now. Libgit2 recently started releasing tarballs, so that could be an option, too. 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.
