Thank you, but I wasn't very clear. What I'd like is a download including the .git directory, not just a snapshot of the latest code.

Currently you can get it from the author's gitlab: https://gitlab.com/dstftw/youtube-dl , i.e. git clone 'https://gitlab.com/dstftw/youtube-dl.git'

Thank you! I tried that one a few days ago but it hadn't been updated since the github takedown so I incorrectly assumed development was happening elsewhere.

No, it has all the commits from the latest version, the one released after the github takedown.
