Currently, version upgrade consists of 2 actions:

update git commit hash
update version

One can forget to update version or specify a wrong one.
The common nixpkgs way is to use git tags for pinning in conjunction with sha256 checksum for the downloaded contents. Or not to specify numeric version, but some "git" label, indicating non-release/non-monotonous version.

builtins.fetchGit suits better private repositories (as it uses your local git with credentials). In our case fetchFromGitea should suffice.
