My suggestion: in these cases, we can do

  (origin
    (patches
      (list (file-append
              (origin (uri (git-reference
                             (url "https://git.archlinux.org/...";)
                             (commit "deadbeef...")))
                      (method git-fetch)
                      (sha256 "...")))
              "/.../pdftex-poppler0.76.patch")))).

It's a bit long-winded, but SWH should be happy with this.
This doesn't retroactively unbreak old commits though ...
                
Greetings,
Maxime.
