One of the problems I've encountered with  this approach is that the
upstream Git repo links to (a lot of) submodules. If you're lucky
those submodules point at Git repos and sha1s that don't disappear
over time. It doesn't really capture the entire "source" like I get
with an upstream release tarball.
