Subject: [PATCH] feat: add .git asset for source-only GitHub releases

Source-only releases (no uploaded assets) now also emit a .git
asset with the GitHub clone URL, matching how gittag-sourced
packages like vim-commentary and vim-zig work. This allows
install via git clone --branch <tag> as an alternative to
downloading the tarball.
