ImportError: cannot import name 'clone' from 'datalad_next.patches'

Might be an issue with datalad_next, so feel welcome to move accordingly. Initially observed while testing gooey (and only with it) in datalad-extensions. Here is the minimalistic reproducer

#!/bin/bash
set -ex

cd "$(mktemp -d ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/dl-XXXXXXX)"


d=venvs/dev3; 
python3 -m venv $d && source $d/bin/activate 


python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install https://github.com/datalad/datalad/archive/maint.zip
pip install datalad-gooey[devel,test,tests]
pip install pytest pytest-cov pytest-xdist nose vcrpy mock coverage
        
mkdir -p __testhome__
cd __testhome__
python -m pytest -s -v  --cov=datalad --cov=datalad_gooey --pyargs datalad_gooey

running which results in

ERROR  - ImportError: cannot import name 'clone' from 'datalad_next.patches' (/home/yoh/.tmp/dl-BZ3krmd/venvs/dev3/lib/python3.11/site-packages/datalad_ne...

This was fixed in 908af59

There was no release since. There are no immediate plans for a release at this point.

but could there be a release? FWIW it is 0.2.0-34-gefde469 now .

Thank you so much. Let me know if there's anything I can do to test.
