What's if you could ~$ git clone SWHID?

"You’d end up with git clone as a content-addressed fetch primitive rather than just a URL fetch, which is an interesting building block for reproducible builds and supply chain verification."

A nice write-up by @andrewnez on git remote helpers 👉 https://nesbitt.io/2026/03/18/git-remote-helpers.html

@bzg @andrewnez BTW, I think we can do better than "fetch one git object at at a time". For instance, for everything already cooked in the SWH Vault cache https://archive.softwareheritage.org/api/1/#batch-download , we could return a larger bundle, possibly even as a packfile.
