No, this is about full-history tarballs. The idea is you can download the tarball over HTTP (which is even resumable if the download is interrupted), unpack it, and get the same as from a 'git clone'. It's of questionable usefulness. If your Internet connection is so bad that you can't complete a normal 'git clone' in one go, you'll probably have other problems with our services anyway... -- Nicolás
