Thanks for looking into it. I have finally found time to check this. This was caused by the changes in setuptools_scm.

It may make sense to test hatch_vcs against each commit in master of setuptools_scm, since hatch_vcs depends on setuptools_scm and each regression in it affects hatch_vcs users.

oh okay, thanks for following up!
