Is this possible with plain webspace, i.e. when you don't control
the server?
If you have your own domain name, you can certainly set this up.
But if your host is fully managed, probably not. A fix is to set
up a redirection server people can share. This is kinda like a
central repository, but you wouldn't have to upload your files
directly. You might just put up a url (and other metadata?) to point
people to the final location.
However, I'd prefer to have simple files. Downloading from git
is imo a mistake - those files are probably in development...
meaning they are mutable. If the files are mutable, it includes a
lot of pain for versioning and caching.
There could be stable branches in the git repositories for exactly this
purpose.
Furthermore it's be nice as an additional feature - some people may
always want to use the latest bleeding edge version from git/svn/whatever.
I noticed that many online git/svn repos have bridges that serve raw
files via http directly. No need for using the git/svn tool on the client.
