Any other issues that I've missed? Where should we come down in this case?

I say we stay the course and fix the issue of sha's disappearing. I feel this way because its:

1. Technically feasible in the short term.
2. Saves the substantial burden of redirecting to the user.
3. Supports the only way that you can guarantee 100% build fidelity.

Can you restate "fix the issue of sha's [sic] disappearing" in a way which I can understand? As far as I know, the actual problem is that repo isn't fetching all tags.

Or are you describing the symptom as seen from the build system? Because my suggestion (ship a forked repo temporarily) would address that.
