I apologize for misunderstanding you -- I should read more carefully.

I don't see the point of the 'setup_requires' bit:  if you are working in
a checkout, you should be using 'python setup.py develop', which Just
Works(TM) without 'setuptools-git'.  'setuptools-git' really only matters
for the *maintainers*, who need to ensure that the non-Python files get
bundled in when they run 'python setup.py sdist' to make a release (we
could subclass the distutils 'sdist' command to barf in the absence of
'setuptools-git', but That-Way-Lies-Madness).
