@jian-lin jian-lin changed the title Use fetchgit instead of fetchFromSavannah for savannah repo type Fetch Emacs source via git instead of cgit snapshot Dec 13, 2025
Upstream Emacs disabled their cgit snapshot services again.  It is
more future-proofing to fetch Emacs source via git.

More context: nix-community#523 (comment)

Note that this patch does not affect Emacs forks whose source code is
hosted on and fetched via GitHub.
