> git is a networked system
Git has the potential to be part of a distributed system. It is not inherently networked. Most of Sourcegraph's features don't need any network connectivity at all, and most of the rest can get by with severely restricted access. Check out man unshare [1].
> nor build a version with telemetry ripped out
Of course that's possible! Telemetry is centralized in remarkably few places in the code, and nothing in the license prohibits that sort of thing. Replace the telemetry with no-ops and build it....
