fetchFromGithub and The Versioneer: fixing source reproducibility

The hook is probably an ok workaround.
It’s not unsolvable, but I don’t know if you’re interested in a complete solution to the problem. You could disable export-subst processing using one of the methods I mentioned, and then we could have our own replacement for the export-subst filtering that takes no info from git, but only from the fetcher’s parameters. That would solve more problems that you may or may not run into.
