I contacted GitHub about this issue a few weeks ago and they said that:

1) They do not guarantee bit-reproducibility of the snapshots they
generate automatically for each release tag, and they wish that people
would not rely on them as we do. However, since people *are* relying on
them, they are discussing this issue internally.
2) This is the relevant code change:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/commit/?id=22f0dcd9634a818a0c83f23ea1a48f2d620c0546

In the meantime, we can add this to the list of reasons that
reproducibility is difficult in the long term.

I don't have any solutions in mind besides keeping substitutes available
for as long as possible and, for users, using substitutes. We might also
petition upstream projects to offer a "real" release tarball.
