++ If github didn't already provide a solution that works 95% of the time I'd consider it more of a need. And while a lot of people have issues with github, IMO this one part of github is largely FOSS (they're just using git archive here). Simply serving up git and git archive tarballs is something that could be easily moved to another hosting provider if somebody stepped up to offer the service. If somebody were offering to build a homegrown solution that would probably be fine, but I'm not really seeing that... -- Rich
