Grapping the tarbell from where? To my best knowledge, tarbell export is not a part of git, but something git hosts provide.
Git is a distributed VCS, and we should support keeping it that way.
- mikepurvis 7y agoAlmost any project you work on will have an authoritative copy of the repo in some kind of web-accessible tool, most of which provide a tarball-download function. And GitHub's scheme is pretty much a de-facto standard at this point—GitLab's implementation is an exact copy of it, for example: https://<host>/<org/project>/archive/<ref/branch/tag>.tar.gz Edit to add: Also, git-archive --remote is actually most of the way there, but it's not an HTTP download, of course. :(
