          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CLI
    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
            Reporter: Filip Maj
            Assignee: Filip Maj
             Fix For: 2.4.0


There are too many issues with removing git as a dependency.

First, with future support coming for moving between different versions, we will likely need to download and extract multiple versions of the git repos.

Second, removing the git dependency and going with just tag downloads from github is difficult at this time as the github mirrors are inconsistent and keep getting backed up.

One thing that is stable is the canonical source repo.

For this issue, remove downloading and extracting tag zipballs. Instead, clone the source and checkout the needed tags as necessary.
