I did some experiment to version control the archive in git: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gettext/2013-03/msg00044.html However, I'll probably withdraw the idea as it seems too much. Instead, I plan to put archive.dir.tar.gz on our ftp server upon release and fetch it when bootstrapping. Regards, -- Daiki Ueno
