Pull helm chart from git repo as ArgoCD

Eschewed features

• This issue is not requesting templating, unstuctured edits, build-time side-effects from args or env vars, or any other eschewed feature.

What would you like to have added?

Often, helmcharts are located in a git repo released under a brunch or tag.

Why is this needed?

Having kustimize be able to pull from that Git Repo and kustimize will make it easier to maintain in more GitOps fashion similar to ArgoCD, making it more convenient and popular.

Consider this environment: you have ArgoCD or FluxCD tool and wish to install a helm chart like this one. All is good if the default helm chart is enough since both Cd tools can pull from the Git Repo. But what if it's not, and you need to kustomize it? It's troublesome since you have to clone the git repo to customize it manually. This makes Git Ops hard, so lifting this limitation would make Gitops a brize.

Can you accomplish the motivating task without this feature, and if so, how?

The current workaround is to manually pull the git repo and then kustomize, making this more complicated to maintain and support and requiring more manual effort.

What other solutions have you considered?
