I am not sure I got the context right here, but as a general remark: "being in principle able to access network on demand, with permission, possibly restricted to certain times or other circumstances" does not mean that I would necessarily appreciate the attempt to access network at arbitrary times, in automated ways, possibly without my active knowledge and permission. So I'd prefer a git checkout to be usable offline, completely, without usable network access or even probing.
