Let me rephrase this: it certainly is (technically) possible to
pkg this with a fetch phase that clones the anon git and checks out
the wanted state...

but: upstream clearly does not intend this to be packaged by itself.
Instead applications using (parts of) this should redistribute the code
of the used components (see the FAQ).

So maybe complain to the upstream of the application that you are trying
to pkg that uses this? They should include the proper state of this
code (that they tested against) with their sources.
