Will there be any change on how tarballs are distributed, taking into
account that Google will be shutting down Google Code Downloads
section[1][2]?

Am I missing something or what's wrong with this:

  https://github.com/gitster/git/archive/v1.9-rc0.tar.gz

or any

  https://github.com/gitster/git/archive/$TAG.tar.gz

??

Do these consume CPU every time somebody asks for a tarball?  That
might be considered "wrong" depending on the view.
