Given small releases, patches available, and a very detailed history file - what's the problem? It's enormously easy to construct a repository in your favorite VCS from that information. There's more than one way to keep a detailed history and just because they only have tarball releases doesn't mean it's a "code dump". Not to say that their process is perfect and I'd chose the same process. But pretending like their process is highly problematic and we should be concerned for the future of the web because you can't run `git log` the moment you have the code seems a little over-dramatic.
