My instinctual reaction to "pop-ins" (I **HATE**, **HATE**, **HATE** pop-ins - they're even *worse* than pop-ups) is to curse, disable JS, and reload. The resulting page, allegedly, shows "all" downloads, but the non-tag ones are missing from it. Of course, in this case, I did actually read what was on the pop-in before going all Nick on it, but it wasn't remotely clear to me that "Download source", "Download .tar.gz" or "Download .zip" really meant "current head" (actually, I didn't even suspect that it might have meant that - I didn't know what the hell they were referring to and I didn't want to assume.)
