I wasn't suggesting to add one, just using the possibility that one
might want to add one as the rationale for keeping the download URL for
the tarball out of the .inc file.

It's all rather subjective and hinges on the likelihood of adding a
_git.bb (don't include it in the .inc) vs. adding more than one
versioned .bb (then including the common download in the .inc reduces
duplication).
