There was a problem hiding this comment.
When asking AI whether it is safe to remove the git_archive, it recommends "setuptools_scm[toml]>=7.0.0"
Longer version of comment:
It was originally created as a plugin to allow setuptools_scm to read version numbers from .git_archival.txt files when building from a downloaded GitHub .tar.gz or .zip source archive (where the .git directory is missing). However, starting with setuptools_scm version 7.0.0, this functionality was built directly into the core package. If you remove it, you should ideally pin your setuptools_scm requirement to version 7.0.0 or higher to ensure the native git archive fallback still works.

Summary
This PR removes
setuptools_scm_git_archivefrompy/pyproject.toml'sbuild-system.requires.setuptools_scm_git_archivehas been archived and is no longer actively maintained. Modern versions ofsetuptools_scmno longer require it as a separate build dependency for standard versioning workflows, making this dependency unnecessary.Removing the obsolete dependency simplifies the project's build requirements and reduces maintenance overhead.
