As described here <https://docs.racket-lang.org/pkg/git-workflow.html>,
> When a Git repository is specified as a package source, then a copy of the > repository content is installed as the package implementation.

My understanding is that "the copy of the repository content" is produced simply, e.g., by checking out the repository at the appropriate commit and then discarding the `.git` directory. An alternative would be to produce the repository content by running `git archive`. This would allow certain transformations to be made on the content, e.g., inserting the commit hash into one of the exported files. One could do other minor tricks as well, like excluding "junk" files. See the ATTRIBUTES section of the man page at <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-archive>. Is there a reason why the Racket package system doesn't run `git archive` to produce the content for the "non-developer" version of a package?
