Comment:

 In [changeset:"45875" 45875]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="45875"
 Build Tools: Don't use git for package installs.

 While NPM supports installing packages from git locations, this requires
 `git` to be in the path, which won't necessarily be true, particularly on
 Windows.

 We can download the release versions for these packages, instead.

 Fixes #47916.
