It is an implementation detail, not policy.
To do it 100% generically dub repository will have to 
understand each VCS system, check it out and then archive it 
before shipping it off on request. Instead of just downloading 
an archive from the provider.

You may not know this, but in the past the repository has had 
problems crashing from doing these updates and then performing 
downloads (its been resolved, but it really doesn't have the 
infrastructure to do it properly I think).
And this is why I dig ditches for a living. Thank you for the 
(what should've been obvious) explanation.
