Hi James,

There are a lot of great benefits to using the GIT tree. When you clone a GIT 
tree you get a complete replica of the tree (as cloning implies). This means 
you can view the history of updates/patches applied, checkout/extract different 
versions of the code base, and make it much easier to create and submit 
patches. So although I can understand your desire to get a simple tar of the 
entire source, hopefully, you will find benefits to using GIT too.

However, please note that via the git-web interface you can still get a single 
download of the source too. See the following article:

I have put together some notes on how to get started with GIT. You can find 
these notes here...

Check out the references on the above page too and there is a lot of helpful 
information about GIT on the web.

Cheers
Jon
