Why surprised? That's the fundamental purpose of a version control
system, to keep track of *every* version that's been committed to it. If

Yes, that makes more sense for this problem. Git is a good choice for
tracking revisions to your scripts (I use it for that myself), but very
much the wrong tool for distributing tarballs across a network.
