Comment:
@Piraty I changed the convention to match what you were referring to, or did you also mean replacing the usage of Git with just getting the commit directly from GitHub?

The reason I'm using Git is because [these](https://github.com/bkaradzic/GENie/blob/44918162588e56512ddac6264b08ca6ba4e67468/scripts/release.lua#L18) [lines](https://github.com/bkaradzic/GENie/blob/44918162588e56512ddac6264b08ca6ba4e67468/scripts/release.lua#L21) use `git` to glean information about the version, which fails without an actual Git repository.

I could try patching these lines myself because they're just getting strings that I already know about in the template, and then the hostmakedepends=git could be omitted entirely in favour of just fetching the commit directly. Which would be preferred?
