Hi,

- Automatic tarball generation. When I’m packaging a project for FreeBSD, it
makes me very happy to learn that it’s hosted on GitHub, because if I know the
release branch name or hash I can automatically generate a URL that is a
tarball of the sources and tell the port to grab that for building. When I’m
doing a release of something GitHub-hosted, then it’s trivial: create a tag and
you’re done. We’ve recently moved the public CHERI repo to GitHub precisely
because it’s the easiest way of generating tarballs from a repo.
Since we have an advanced make system,
make dist, if you are on a quickie
make svn-tag && make svn-dist, if you want to do it nice.
Ah, and when I use cvs....
make cvs-tag && make cvs-dist, really that different, isn't it?

No need to launch a browser click on some web interface of github. No
need for a "hash", I have a version tag and I'm done.
