Many package managers provide a generic repository URL as source location. When using this URL for download, this will yield the latest version of the default branch in the GIT repository. This is most probably not the source code for the actual package version.
The downloader understands a syntax of appending @ and the version number to a GIT URL, but this should be provided by the harvester.
Gotcha: Sometimes a Git URL is specified by a package manager with a "user" prefix, like: git@github.com/...
