The new helper
git_clone_and_tarball()is an opinionated function to clone a git repo from tag/ref with submodules and add the content into a tar ball. The tar ball does not include a.gitdirectory, but it comes with a.git_archival.txtforsetuptools-scm. An optional callback can be used to rewrite clone URLs.The base name of the tar ball and first-level directory are always based on the
prefixargument.
