using git to download source fails on windows with conda-forge-ci-setup > 3.0.3

[looooo]

We run into this issue with the freecad-feedstock. Git is used to download the sources to retrive some version information. The build fails on windows with:

error: remote-curl: usage: git remote-curl <remote> [<url>]
Warning: failed to download source.  If building, will try again after downloading recipe dependencies.

Any ideas how this can be related to the conda-forge-ci-setup version?

This issue was resolved by pinning conda-forge-ci-setup to 3.0.3 in the past. But now there seems to be a dependency conflict and this workaround doesn't work any more.

the traceback:

• [x] I read the conda-forge documentation and could not find the solution for my problem there.

Issue:

Environment (conda list):

``` $ conda list ```

Details about conda and system ( conda info ):

``` $ conda info ```

Instead of git, use m2-git in build

thanks, this fixed the issue.
