The warts are mostly related to bootstrap issues when you're modifying asdf itself.
i don't see the whole problem, but maybe the bootstrap script could check out the latest stable tag/branch into the build/ tmp directory, and compile asdf-tools while inside that asdf repo state?
That's a possibility. I kind of wanted basic functionality to work even when git is not present though, for cases where e.g. a tarball is used, or a rsync/scp of the checkout onto a test machine.
My compromise of "build asdf-tools while you know you have a stable asdf" seemed good to me, but admittedly it's a cognitive burden on other maintainers, too.
