It's entirely possible that people use this to cherry-pick a patch from
a PR branch. That being said, I do consider it reasonable to not fetch
this by default and pull in the patchfile via source=() if you do need
it... but I wonder how often people might be relying on this behavior.-- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
