packer {
required_plugins {
git = {
version = ">= 0.3.5"
source = "github.com/ethanmdavidson/git"
}
}
}

Which I think now is github.com/ethanmdavidson/packer-plugin-git

No, the name has not been changed. This is just how packer matches the plugin source to the repo name.

For example, the fictional myawesomecloud plugin could belong to the hashicorp namespace on github.com, so its source could be github.com/hashicorp/myawesomecloud,

Note: the actual repository that myawesomecloud comes from must always have the name format github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-myawesomecloud, but the required_plugins block omits the redundant packer-plugin- repository prefix for brevity.

AH - my mistake. Thank You for the clarification.
